Then Sings My Soul Post .... A Prayer For A Friend by Casting Crowns

This beautiful song touched my heart last year while Praying for some of my closest friends, some of which are family. I Pray that everyone will come to know Jesus as their personal Savior, but especially those that I am intimately connected to such as my friends, family, and community. This song/Prayer is beautiful and so true of the Prayers that I often Pray for them. So often they become a puppet of the world and they don't even realize it. The sad thing is, we as Christians fall into the same traps at times ourselves. So this isn't just a song/Prayer for lost friends, family, etc. but also a Prayer for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.


A Prayer For A Friend by Casting Crowns

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
Complicated circumstances have clouded his view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You
My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him
But You know where that leads
He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
My friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
