Healing

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
