"Somebody's Praying For Me" ~ Don Moen

I was lost in a desert land 
So dry and thirsty 
But God was there where He’d always been 
Giving grace and mercy

So hard to sing and hard to pray 
Yet I knew His Word was true 
And then one day my faith returned 
And suddenly I knew

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

I’ve been spared by so many prayers 
How many times I could not say 
What a difference a prayer can make 
When it’s offered up in faith

God has always made a way 
When I didn’t know what to do 
Just when I needed a miracle 
That’s when your prayers broke through

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
Well I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

Now I know that friend was you 
You were the gift God gave me 
’Cuz when you prayed His love broke through 
It was your prayer that saved me

Thank you for praying for me 
Thank you for knocking on Heaven’s door 
Thank you for praying for me 
Thank you for lifting me up to the Lord 
Now I can clearly see 
That you were the one on your knees 
So thank you for praying for me

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
Well I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

"Uncharted Territory" ~ Don Moen

I find myself in uncharted territory
Never felt so lost
Never felt so lonely
Where are You Lord

I’m so afraid
I can feel the fear inside me
Can’t control the chaos all around me
Where are You Lord

How can I sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land

(But) How can I forget
All You’ve done for me
Everything You’ve done Lord
Just to set me free
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to praise
Even in the darkness
Teach me how to sing Your song

How can I sing
When my heart is broken
When every prayer is just a token
Where are You Lord

Sometimes our pain can tell a tragic story
Still I will praise You
And give You glory
Where are You Lord

Help me to sing the Lord’s song in this foreign land

(But) How can I forget
All You’ve done for me
Everything You’ve done Lord
Just to set me free
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to praise
Even in the darkness
Teach me how to sing Your song
Your song
Gonna sing Your song

(But) How can I forget
All You’ve done for me
You have been so faithful
Meeting every need
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to praise
Even in the darkness
Teach me how to sing Your song
Your song
Gonna sing Your song

HIDING PLACE ~ Don Moen

You are my hiding place
I run to You
I need Your mercy and grace
To see me through
So I'll run to You

You are my strength Oh God
You will uphold me
You are my shield Oh God
You will protect me
