[music: Wead, Marcolin, lyrics: Marcolin]

My father was undergoing surgery

His heart had failed him so terribly
The operation was very dangerous
I felt so helpless I thought of God


I prayed my father would not die
I prayed that he would be just fine

I prayed to God to see him through
I prayed and I believed in You


When I was stuck by harsh reality
It opened up my eyes so I could see
While I was sitting there in the waiting room

There was only one thing I could do

I prayed my father would not die

I prayed that he would be just fine
I prayed to God to see him through
I prayed and I believed in You


Please God, forgive my sins
Please let my father live

Please God, hear my prayers

I prayed and he did not die

I prayed and now he is just fine
I prayed and God saw him through
I prayed and I believe in You
