WE PRAY (a thanksgiving song)

We Pray (Girlie Arce & DJ Padilla)

I am about to offer God a sacrifice of Thanksgiving on Friday for all His goodness, blessings, and mercy all year round. On January 22 I will be celebrating my 9th birthday in spirit (for those who do not know that was the date when I was baptized in our Church).

I value this day too much. Those past 9 nine years is like a journey full of struggles but I wouldn't deny the fact that I've been so happy most of the times. To be with the brethren who fully subject themselves to the will of their Creator is such a very nice experience I wouldn't ever regret, rather cherish all the days of my life. It may sound corny (or stupid) to others especially to those who are not that religious but wait, acknowledging the will of your Creator isn't stupid at all, rather the wisest decision you'll ever make.

By the way, this is the song that I, together with Sis. Elaine, is about to sing. We have our own version, too, but I'm not going to post our recordings here without her permission, for she most probably wouldn't allow me. ^.^

WE PRAY

By: Sis Girlie Arce & Sis DJ Padilla

We pray for thy salvation

Lord hear our voice

We pray You will be here

Until the end of our days

We pray oh Lord You’ll guide us

As we walk Your ways

Oh Lord please be there

As we praise together

I

Search the world

So clear we see

The hand that saves and

The light we need

Only under your wings

We felt the care we can’t compare

II

The faith, the hope, the love You gave

Serve as strength in every step we make

You cast away our fears

As we unite and fight the good fight of faith and

REFRAIN

Oh dear God we cry out loud

Take and receive the offer that we have

Please be glad

With the melody and harmony

Together hand in hand we praise Your name

Almighty name

CHORUS

We offer You our lives

As living sacrifices

To the heavens above

We bring You honor and love

We thank You Holy God

For giving our Lord Jesus

You've enlightened our hearts

Took us out from the dark

And as we firmly stand

Oh Lord you heal and bless Your land

III

Here and there and everywhere

Some people do not even care

Children of God were hated persecuted in this world

IV

They never stop, they never rest

Throwing hurt and pain and loneliness

But faith is still in place

And we'll remain in service over and over

(REPEAT REFRAIN)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

Love is all that will remain (Female)

One heart, one body, one soul (Male)

As we reach out for the goal (Female)

Singing hallelujah (Male)

Singing hallelujah

(ADLIB)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

And as we firmly stand

Oh Lord you heal and bless Your land
