Lyrics

I need the pray­ers of those I love,
While tra­vel­ing o’er life’s rug­ged way,
That I may true and faith­ful be,
And live for Je­sus ev­ery day.

Refrain

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.

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 pow­er.

Refrain

I want my friends to pray for me,
To hold me up on wings of faith,
That I may walk the nar­row way,
Kept by our Fa­ther’s glo­ri­ous grace.
