I am not able to stand without your mercy.  
I am not able to walk without your grace
I cannot see beyond the dawn of each new day.  
Without you as my guide and my strength

I am not strong enough to face the challenge
I am not brave enough to fight the fight
I cannot understand the trials that come my way
Without your mercy and your grace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

I cannot see the end of this trial
I do not know how it all will turn out
I can only trust in you, my God
To walk me through this fight

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

By myself I am lost in this world of unknowns
Desperately trying to figure life out
Then your Spirit comes in and calms my soul
And I can rest in your embrace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord
