Lyrics
Sometimes I get so lonely
Thinkin' why, Lord, am I here
in bed with malaria
crying out in fear?
Oh I need God to heal me now
To cool my burning head.
Oh I need Jesus more than ever
to raise me up out of this bed.
Chorus: So pray, pray, pray for me.
I'm your missionary
Pray, pray, pray for me
I need you, won't you
Pray, pray, pray for me?
The work must go on.
This gospel must be preached.
Pray for me.
Sometimes I get so tired
meeting everyone else's needs
I've got five sacks of grain left
And five hundred mouths to feed.
Oh I need God to multiply
this food I have on hand
Oh I need Jesus to send the rain
to water this weary land.
Sometimes I have to walk now
When I would rather drive
But I can't seem to get parts for my truck
No matter how hard I try
Oh I need God to show me how
To get around in this land
To get through to the hearts of this people
So they can understand His love for them.
Sometimes I feel a pain in my heart
at least ten times a day
When I think of my boy and my girl
in that school so far away.
Oh I need God to tell them I care
To hold them close tonight
Oh I need Jesus to give them a hug
And hold them long and tight
Sometimes we get so busy
just trying to survive
Well sometimes we've got to realize
that our old ways need to die.
Oh we need God to burn on our hearts
a burden now to pray
Oh we need Jesus to discipline us
to be faithful every day.
So Pray, pray, pray for him.
He's your missionary.
Pray, pray, pray for her.
She needs you; won't you
Pray, pray, pray for them?
The work must go on.
This gospel must be preached
And Jesus will return
when the last tribe is reached.
Pray for them. Pray.....
My brethren, please pray!
