Petra - Stand in the Gap lyrics

there's no feeling

like when you have a friend in need

their heart is wounded -

and you can feel your own heart bleed

and you wonder

will they pull through this attack

you feel so helpless - you want to be fighting back

don't think it's over - don't pull away

it's time to stand in - it's time to pray

set the wheels in motion

with your devotion

stand in the gap

coming boldly to His throne of grace

stand in the gap

He will hear you when you seek His face

put your weapon to its use

and believe it will produce

stand in the gap

until all hell...

until all hell breaks loose

in the conflict

it seems like He doesn't hear

be encouraged - He still has an open ear

it's not for nothing

it's not in vain

make your petitions

call on His name

He will bring assistance

through your persistance

the enemy is gonna have to fold his hand

when the army of the Lord begins to take command

nothing in the heavens or the earth can stand

against the fervent prayer of a righteous man
