Stand in the Gap · letra

Based on Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16

There's no feeling Like when you have a friend in need Their heart is wounded - And you can feel your own heart bleed And you wonder Will they pull through this attack You feel so helpless - you want to be fighting back Don't think it's over - don't pull away It's time to stand in - it's time to pray Set the wheels in motion With your devotion
Stand in the gap Coming boldly to His throne of grace Stand in the gap He will hear you when you seek His face Put your weapon to its use And believe it will produce Stand in the gap Until all hell... Until all hell breaks loose
In the conflict It seems like He doesn't hear Be encouraged - He still has an open ear It's not for nothing It's not in vain Make your petitions Call on His name He will bring assistance Through your persistance
The enemy is gonna have to fold his hand When the army of the Lord begins to take command Nothing in the heavens or the earth can stand Against the fervent prayer of a righteous man
