Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs

Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song

When I could not come up with a title for a song, I simply used the date as a title.  A friend challenged to write a song on his birthday; so I did.  The first verse is omitted here, because it was specific to him.  The rest of the song is for the rest of us.

Lyrics

And I Pray
CCLI Song No. 3236237
Key: C

Verse 1 (Psalm 139)
Even before that special day 
when the world and you first met
Your Father God had plans for you, 
for all of your days He has set.
God knows your end and your beginning, 
and everything in between
He's behind you and before you, 
Knows where you're going 
and where you have been.

Verse 2 (Isaiah 46:3,4; Romans 8:28)
My friend, you must let me say this;
for I have found it true
Our Father is able to carry us 
and He will see us through.
In everything that happens, 
God has His hand in all.
He works for the good of His loved ones, 
for the good of all He has called.

Verse 3 (Prov. 3:5,6; Psalm 27:14)
I pray that as you walk each day 
in Him you'll fully trust
For all His ways are righteous; 
all His ways are just.
As you acknowledge Jesus 
your path He will make straight. 
Be strong, my brother and wait for Him; 
take heart, my brother, and wait.

Verse 4 (Ephesians 1:17-19)
I pray that the glorious Father, 
the God of our Lord Jesus Christ
May open the eyes of your heart 
and make your spirit wise.
So that you may know Him better 
and the hope to which you’re called
And His unlimited, incomparable power 
that works with might and strength for us all.

Verse 5 (Eph. 3:16-17;  Col. 1:9,10)
I pray that the Father will strengthen you 
through His Spirit in your inner man
Through faith Jesus dwells in your heart; 
in love, I pray you will stand.
May you grasp how wide and how long and how high 
and how deep is His love for you
May God fill you up completely 
that you may please Him in all that you do.

Verse 6 (Ephesians 3:20)
Now I give thanks to the Father; 
He's able to do far more
Than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His pow'r.
I'm thanking the Father for you, bro; 
you're special to Him and me.
May God's favour abound and His peace reign in you; 
my "bro" in God's family.
