Lyrics:
1. Father in the quiet night I am calling I am pleading
For Thy wisdom I am seeking take my burdens all away
Father hear me as I pray
CHORUS: Oh Father hear me bless me heal me take me in Thy warm embrace
Give me strength to live each day Father this is why I pray
2. Father in the quiet night I am waiting I am listening
For Thy answer to my pleading test my faith and show the way
Father hear me as I pray
CHORUS
3. Father Thy sweet answer comes as a whisper and a burning
To my troubled heart confirming speak Thy word and I'll obey
Father this is why I pray
CHORUS Story:
"Why I Pray" (Fall 2007)
Lucky for me my parents are big fans! Their ward choir has performed some of my music, and the director, David, just so happens to have a knack for lyrics! So he sent me some and I promised to have some music for him "in about a month" (fans of the site can guess where this is going)...24 hours later I had "Why I Pray" ready for him to distribute to the choir! I'm proud of the sequencing in the bass line, it's actually very mechanical. Many thanks to the lyricist; I find it so easy to write when others have fought half the battle already!
