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.
