Stand In the Gap

Based on Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16

There's no feeling
Like when you have a friend in need
Their heart is wounded
And you can feel your own heart bleed

And you wonder
Will they pull through this attack
You feel so helpless
You want to be fighting back

Don't think it's over, don't pull away
It's time to stand in, it's time to pray
Set the wheels in motion
With your devotion

Stand in the gap
Coming boldly to His throne of grace
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face
Put your weapon to its use
And believe it will produce
Stand in the gap
Until all hell, until all hell breaks loose

In the conflict
It seems like He doesn't hear
Be encouraged
He still has an open ear

It's not for nothing, it's not in vain
Make your petitions, call on His name
And He will bring assistance
Through your persistence

Stand in the gap
Coming boldly to His throne of grace
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face
Put your weapon to its use
And believe it will produce
Stand in the gap
Until all hell, until all hell breaks loose

The enemy is gonna have
To fold his hand
When the army of the Lord
Begins to take command
Nothing in the heavens
Or the earth can stand
Against the fervent prayer
Of a righteous man

Stand in the gap
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face
Put your weapon to its use
And believe it will produce
Stand in the gap
Until all hell, until all hell
Until all hell breaks loose

Stand in the gap
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face

Stand in the gap
Coming boldly to His throne of grace
Stand in the gap, oh...

Stand in the gap
Stand in the gap...
