LOVER'S PRAYER - 2/1 : Valentine's Day Blessings




1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain; faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.


哥林多前書 十三章十三節
如今三個仍存在的, 是信、望和愛, 而最偉大是愛。



A LOVER'S PRAYER - Damien Saez 2016
I'll be the heat when you're cold
I'll be the star in the night
I'll be the peace when you get mad
I'll be the river when your soul runs dry
I'll be the colors when you're black and white
I'll be the ocean when you need to stray
I'll be the reason that you wanna stay
I'll be the music when you wanna dance
When there's no hope I'll be your last chance
I'll be the smile when you're sad
I'll be the peace when you get mad


LOVER'S PRAYER - Joe - 1990
Lyric: Joe
For love
For life and eternity
This is my prayer

I pray that our love
Is more than enough
To weather the storm
I pray that you're strong
The nights that I'm gone
And you're home alone
I pray you'll forgive
Whatever I did
That brought you the tears
I pray here right now
As I make this vow
We last through the years

Lover's prayer
When I get down on my knees at night
Lover's prayer
I pray God we gonna be alright
Lover's prayer
With my head down and my hands up high
Lover's prayer
How I hope he will answer my
Lover's prayer

I pray that the sun
Continues to shine
With all that you do
No matter the bad
No matter how low
you'll make it through
I pray that I'm there
Whatever you want whatever you need
I pray that your heart
Carries apart, apart of me

I pray that your smile would
Light up my life won't ever fade
I pray that the trials we share between
Us won't ever break
I pray that you hold all of
Your dreams you will exceed
My final prayer you'll take this ring
And you will bear my seed


My LOVER'S PRAYER - Bee Gees Remember - 1997
Lyric: Barry Gibb / Maurice Ernest Gibb / Robin Hugh Gibb
In the history of a life takes a heart
When the power of love comes together
There ain't nothing can tear us apart
And the touch of your hand I can feel
That what we got is stronger than steel
That's when you hear

My lover's prayer
It's my own silent message to you
Takes me there, my lover's prayer
And my soul is divided in two
With my love on the line
I send it all over the world
Out on the air
'Cause I can't let go
And my heart has a mind of its own
It's my lover's prayer

It's the mystery of a place blessed by us
And the moment of truth is forever
In the face of incredible odds
And the look in your eyes tells me why
Let our words burn a sign in the sky

My lover's prayer
It's as easy as talking to you
All my life, having you there
In my own private vision come true
It's heaven on Earth
You're the fire and all that I'm worth
And I can be strong
You hold the key
Don't say it's over (don't say it's over)
Don't say it's over for me (don't say it's over)

My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer)
It's as easy as talking to you (it's easy, it's easy)
All my life, having you there
In my own private vision come true
In my search for your love
I send it all over the world
It's all I can bear
And the nights get long
But my heart holds on
It's no empty words

My lover's prayer (my lover's prayer)
It's my own silent message to you (message to you, message to)
Takes me there, my lover's prayer (oh)
And my soul is divided in two
'Cause I can't (can't) let go (oh can't)
And my heart has a mind of its own
It's my lover's prayer


LOVER'S PRAYER - Van Morrison - 1998
Lyric: Van Morrison
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
I don't want no jive artists calling me on the telephone
Don't wanna watch the Carson show all alone
I just wanna lay back, take my rest
With the one I love's head resting on my chest

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Just wanna be with my love tonight
And I don't want my best friends even coming round
'Cos if they do I might put 'em down
Carson's over and the lights way down low
And all I got, I got a heart full of soul

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Just wanna be with my love tonight
And it's a lover's prayer, oh yes it is
Takes a little time, takes a little care, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight
Just wanna be with my love tonight


A LOVER'S PRAYER - Hal Bynum - 2001
Lyric: Hal Bynum
Father, I ask you to forgive me
for my lack of patience and
for bein' self-centered and
always thinkin' about myself and what I want,
and wantin' to be comfortable all the time
instead of tryin' to be a help to other people.
Most of all, I pray that you'll help me
to always be gentle and good and understandin'
with this woman who's chose to live her life with me.
She loves me with all her heart,
with a love that's innocent and trusting and unselfish.
You've had your hand on our lives
since the day we met.
We'd both been hurt a lot and
neither one of us was ready to open our hearts again,
but there was somethin' wonderful about that moment,
almost like the world had conspired
to place an emphasis on our meeting,
when we came together that day.
I realized immediately how much she was.
There was this bright, burnin', knowin' in her eyes
that cut right through her shyness and it was weird
how we trusted each other, right from the start.
Whatever kind of carpet there was in that room
caused an electric shock when our hands touched
and we both laughed and it all got started
in a relaxed an easy goin' way,
and you brought us along,
and brought us through everything
that coulda wrecked us along the way.
Ever'time I look at her I see the little girl
who believes the world's a good place
and everybody's got good in 'em,
and that darkness is just a place
the light hadn't got to yet.
Father help me to trust you the way she trusts you.
I want to have that kind of faith.
No matter how bad things look,
she believes if she does her best and tries hard enough,
everything'll turn out alright.
Forgive me for bein' in such a hurry all the time
and bein' worried when there
didn't really any reason for it.
I think sometimes I look for the worst in people,
tryin' to find somethin' wrong with 'em
so I can feel better about me.
She's always lookin' for the good in people,
and the funny thing is, she always seems to find it.
Help me to be as gentle, and thoughtful,
and kind as she is. An to not always be makin'
everything about me, to not always be tryin'
to get everything the way I want it all the time.
She's the one that's taught me about kindness.
An when I do remember to give a little
bit of it back to 'er, when I remember
to be thoughtful, she's so grateful that tears come to her eyes
and she touches my face with her hand and
I've never seen love like that.
I'll never understand why she loves me
the way she does. Of all the gifts you've given me,
that's the greatest gift of all.
Help me to comfort her when she's troubled,
and to somehow make her realize how
beautiful and wonderful she
really is.
I don't deserve her, but Lord, how I love her.
Help me to be good to 'er.
Amen
