My father was undergoing surgery

His heart had failed him so terribly

The operation was very dangerous

I felt so helpless I thought of God



I prayed my father would not die

I prayed that he would be just fine

I prayed to God to see him through

I prayed and I believed in You



When I was stuck by harsh reality

It opened up my eyes so I could see

While I was sitting there in the waiting room

There was only one thing I could do



I prayed my father would not die

I prayed that he would be just fine

I prayed to God to see him through

I prayed and I believed in You



Please God, forgive my sins

Please let my father live

Please God, hear my prayers



I prayed and he did not die

I prayed and now he is just fine

I prayed and God saw him through

I prayed and I believe in You
