I Pray for My Son - Luke
This song was inspired by events in our own sons’ lives. Even though parents do not like to see their children suffer and go through hard times, it is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice God made and the pain He endured while watching his son die a terrible death on a cross. Because of this, we now have an advocate through Jesus Christ to pray to for protection for our sons.
Lyrics
Intro (spoken)
This song is a prayer for all the parents raising sons today
God knows what you may be going through because He sacrificed his Son, Jesus
And there is power in that name… help sing it!
Chorus
In the Name of Your Son, I’ll pray for my son
In the name of your son – I pray your Will be done
In the name of your son, - There is power and might
In the name of your Son – in the name of Jesus Christ
Verse 1
Young men lend an ear to the sound of my voice
If you want to make a change, first you’ve got to make a choice
To hear the voice of wisdom, truth and instruction
Don’t yield to temptation, it leads to destruction
There are fathers and sons sharing the same jail cell
Both have been deceived by the ruler of hell
Mothers’ hearts are breaking, tears in their eyes
To see their babies gunned down in a gangster drive by
Verse 2
No direction for perfection, high on digital recreation
Xbox 360, Nintendo, PlayStations
Minecraft… Call of Duty, Sports are a fantasy
Life’s a virtual playground, no room for reality
No hope, no dreams for a brighter day
Just living their lives like a castaway
Now is the time, please hear what I have to say
Life is gift from God - don’t throw it all away
Verse 3
So give them ears to hear that’s tuned to godly wisdom
So that the Power of God can reach them
We need more of your grace and your mercy to keep them
So that your Holy Spirit can teach them
The ways of truth, righteousness and love
So father hear my cry – OH lord hear my call
judgment day is coming - I don't want them to be lost

There is Power - in the name of Jesus
There is Power in the name!
