Petra Stand In the Gap lyrics

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
He will bring assistance
Through your persistence

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
