Lyrics

Quiet room, the clock stands still
Comfy clothes, a shaking will
I try to smile, try to breathe
But fear is louder than my peace
White light humming overhead
Every thought I never said
He reads the worry on my face
Before I ask for grace
He brings a calm I can't explain
Looks me in the eye, says my name
Bows his head and gently says
If it's okay

Let us pray
Before the world slips far away
Before the dark, before the wait
Let us pray
No long words, no perfect plea
Just calm where fear was hounding me
He closes his eyes, leads the way, and softly said
Let us pray

Here in the chair, hands in my lap
Ten, nine, eight, counting back
I give you this moment, all of it now
I'll have to trust you, somehow
He's done this more than I can know
Still treats this moment holy and slow
Like this life right here, right now, matters somehow
Take it nice and easy today
He says, I'll call you later
Then lets me go in peace

Let us pray
Before the world slips far away
Before the dark, before the wait
Let us pray
No long words, no perfect plea
Just mercy meeting fear in me
He bows his head, closes his eyes, and whispered
Let us pray
Later on, an evening call
No scrubs, no walls at all
Just, how you feeling? You alright?
A steady voice into the night

Let us pray
For healing hands and better days
For kindness that still shows the way
Let us pray
And even when the room is miles away
His words still resonate
Faith held gently, never loud
Care that follows me back to the house
Somewhere between fear and brave
I heard him say
Let us pray
Let us pray
