"DESPERATE PRAYER"

Verse 1
If you cry unto the Lord
With all your heart and all your soul,
Pour out your life before His throne
And seek His face and His alone,
He'll answer you and give you rest
And for you He'll save His best,
And keep you safe in perfect peace
And cause the wind and storm to cease.
Be still. He will --

Verse 2
If you get quiet before the Lord
And meditate upon His Word,
And call upon Him while He's near,
He'll chase away the doubt and fears.
He'll take you there into His arms
And keep you close and safe from harm,
If only you will take the time
To take a step outside your mind
And listen to Him. --

Bridge
Don't give up when you've lost your way.
Just face the facts, it's not too late
To cast all your burden on Him.
When you look up, you'll see the path
And know your first step is not your last.
He never fails. You know He'll always see you through.

Verse 3
If you cry unto the Lord
With all your heart and all your soul,
Pour out your life before His throne
And seek His face and His alone,
He'll answer you and give you rest
And for you He'll save His best,
And keep you safe in perfect peace
And cause the wind and storm to cease.
Be still. He will. --
