I used to pray for things that I don't need* Trouble God with all my vanities Used to pray for things that I shouldn't want I meant to give thanks---but I forgot
Now I pray for healing I pray for peace I pray for healing For you and me
I used to pray that all my bills got paid And that we'd get safely to the shows we played I used to think I didn't have enough... Now I give because I know I have too much
And I pray for healing, Oh God, Send relief I pray for healing This time it's not for me
I used to pray my kids would grow up happy Now I pray that they grow up at all But I refuse to let these fears devour me Cause I know it won't be long Before we're standing tall again
I used to pray when things were not so fine But now I find myself praying all the time Now all the things that I used to pray for Suddenly don't mean a thing no more
Cause now I pray for healing I pray for peace I pray for healing for you And for you And for you And for you I pray for you So pray for me Pray for peace
