He Doesn’t Have A Prayer (But I Do)
I said, “I’ll pray for you.”
He just smiled and said, “Go on and try.”
He wouldn’t ask me to
But there’s something like a thank-you in his eyes.
He’s been down so long
He can’t get to his knees.
He isn’t hopeless,
But that’s what he believes.
Chorus:
He doesn’t have a prayer, but I do.
God knows the heartache he’s been going through.
He needs a gentle hand and someone he can talk to.
(faithful friend with faith he can hold on to.)
He doesn’t have a prayer, but I do.
He knows how to cry.
He’s seen his dreams of love just slip away.
Been that way most his life,
A hundred thousand loyalties betrayed.
He’d like to trust you,
But his caution’s born of fear.
It feels like faith is foolish
When hope just turns to tears.
Chorus
Bridge:
I can see him through the eyes of faith.
Where he is weak, I can be strong.
He may be struggling in the grasp of grace.
But I know he can’t hold out long.
Chorus
