| FIRST PRAYER Words and Music by Randy Stonehill I've been waiting for a long, long time Hoping you're a friend of mine If there's one thing that I need to do Well, that's to find out more about you I have been wandering all of my days So if you're there, show me the way I see people in a world of lies Staring out through lonely eyes Watching as the years go by Knowing they're living only to die There must be something missing somewhere So if you're listening answer this prayer I will follow if you'll lead me Help me make a stand If you'll breathe new breath inside of me I'll believe you can, I'll believe you can Well, I never really learned to pray But you know what I'm trying to say I don't want my life to end Not ever knowing why it began So if you'll trust me, I'll do my best And I'll be trusting you for the rest 1976 King of Hearts Publishing All rights reserved.
