Special Prayers

Thank You Lord (2x)

With a grateful heart,
With a song of praise
With an outstreched arm,
I will bless Your name
Thank You Lord
I just wanna thank You Lord.
Thank You Lord

For all You've done in my life
You took my darkness and gave me your light
Thank You Lord (2x)
You took my sin and my shame
You took my sickness and healed all my pain
Thank You Lord (2x)

With a grateful heart
With a song of praise
With an outstreched arm
I will bless Your name

Thank You Lord
I just wanna thank You Lord
Thank You Lord (2x)
(Last 3 lines repeated over and over)

Note how the song enumerates the graces, thanking God for each and every one of them. Also note that God is thanked over and over (unceasing praise).

God’s closing remark:

With this being said and done,
(song) Let us pray.

Let Us Pray
by Stephen Curtis

I hear you say your heart is aching
You've got trouble in the making
And you ask if I'll be praying for you please
And in keeping with convention
I'll say yes with good intentions
To pray later making mention of your needs
But since we have this moment here at heaven's door
We should start knocking now, what are we waiting for?

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
For the Father above, He is listening with love
And He wants to answer us, so let us pray

So when we feel the Spirit moving
Prompting, prodding and behooving
There is no time to be losing, let us pray
Let the Father hear us saying
What we need to be conveying
Even while this song is playing, let us pray
And just because we say the word, "Amen"
It doesn't mean this conversation needs to end

Let us pray, let us pray, everywhere in every way
Every moment of the day, it is the right time
Let us pray without end and when we finish start again
Like breathing out and breathing in, let us pray

Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence
As our prayers draw us near
To the One who knows our needs
Before we even call His name
