I want my friends to pray for me,
To bear my tempted soul above,
And intercede with God for me;
I need the prayers of those I love.

To help me in each trying hour,
To bear my tempted soul to Him,
That He may keep me by His pow’r. [Refrain]

To hold me up on wing of faith,
That I may walk the narrow way,
Kept by our Father’s glorious grace. [Refrain] Topics: Christan Life Meditation and Prayer Tune Title: [I need the prayers of those I love] (Vaughan)
