Pray

Intro:
Am  D/F#  G  Em  Am  D/F#  G

       Am           D/F#              G                Em
I will pray for you now, for you have been my faithful friends
          Am              D/F#        G      G#dim7
While the road we walk is difficult indeed
        Am          D/F#                  G       Em
I could not ask for more than what you've already been
     C              D                     Em       C   D   G
Only that you would say these prayers for me


         Am           D/F#           G              Em
May your hearts break enough that compassion enters in
         Am              D/F#           G     G#dim7
May your strength all be spent upon the weak
        Am          D/F#                 G               Em
All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head
             C                   D                G
May they all fall, come crashing down around your feet


        Am         D/F#       G               Em
May you find every step to be harder than the last
        Am              D/F#         G      G#dim7
So your character grows greater each stride
         Am      D/F#         G              Em
May your company be of humble insignificance
         C                D              Em       C   D   G
May your weakness be your only source of pride


Chorus:
         C       G             D/F#           G
What you do unto others may it all be done to you
D/F#    Em               D
May you meet the One who made us
            C                  D
And see Him smile when life is through


Instrumental (follows verse progression)

Chorus:
         C            G            D/F#                  G
May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they'd be
    D/F#     Em            D
And when you look upon the broken
          C                           D
May mercy show you what you could not see


        Am       D/F#        G           Em
May you never be sure of any plans you desire
          Am                 D/F#            G    G#dim7
But you'd learn to trust the plan He has for you
         Am          D/F#             G           Em
May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire
        C                   D                G
May you fight with all your life for what is true


       Am             D/F#          G                 Em
I have prayed for you now all of my dear and faithful friends
           Am                D/F#         G     G#dim7
But what I wish is more than I could ever speak
       Am          D/F#             G            Em
As the way wanders on, I'll long to see you once again
      C               D                     Em
Until then, would you say these prayers for me?
    C              D        G
Oh, that you would pray for me
