Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one another in love
以弗所書 四章二節
凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐, 用愛心互相寬容
LOVER'S PRAYER - The Click-Ettes - 1959
Lyric: Johnnie Richardson & Barbara English
Lord, show me if he really loves me
Tell me does he truly care
Give the love that only comes from above
Repledge our love
And he says that he loves only me
But I’m afraid, so afraid, someday he’ll want to be free
You would know how much I love him
And how hard it would be to bear
Oh, dear Lord, meet him, not me
Teach him to love and adore only me
Then, hear me Lord, please hear my prayer
When I open my eyes let him be standing there
And if he comes to me tomorrow
And tells me, tells me, that he truly care
He takes me in his arms and kissed me
I’ll know that God has answered my prayer
(back vocals)
Always, always!
Tell me, tell
LOVER'S PRAYER - The Wallace Brothers - 1964
Lyric: Ernest Wallace
Ooo-OOO-ooo
Lover's prayer
Ooo-OOO-ooo
Lover's prayer
Heavenly father, up above
Please protect the one that I love
Guide & keep her and let her know
That I'll always love her so
No matter what my love may be
My heart is locked, and she holds the key
Of the girls we need to choose
She's the one that I hate to lose.
Oh, she's only gone a while
But half a block seems like a mile
And when she's gone, I'll be so blue
I'll say goodbye my dearest I love you.
Ooo-OOO-ooo
Lover's prayer
Ooo-OOO-ooo
Lover's prayer
Lover's prayer
A LOVER'S PRAYER - Della Reese - 1965
Lyric: Della Reese
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my love to keep,
If I should dream before I wake
Make them come true, I'm begging
For heaven's sake
The lord above is my guarantee
That he'll belong to no one else but me
I pray the lord my love to keep
Every time I lay me down to sleep
Lord I'm laying down to sleep,
And I'm praying my love you'll gonna keep,
Please lord make them come true, make them come true
I'm begging for heaven's sake
Lord above you're my guarantee
That he'll belong to no one else but me
I pray the lord my love you'll keep
Every time i lay me down to sleep
LOVER'S PRAYER - Otis Redding - 1966
Lyric: Otis Redding
This is my lover's prayer
I hope it'll reach out to you, my love
This is my lover's prayer
And I hope you can understand it, my love
My life is such a weary thing
But it might be your own presence bringing rain
You keep wanting, waiting and wishing
When I know deep down that I'm not to blame
What you gonna do tonight
When you need some loving arms to hold you tight?
Tell me, what you gonna do tonight
When you need my happy voice to tell you good night?
Honey, but you can't let that be no problem
You've got to come on home and help me solve 'em
Yeah, I won't be missing you
And honey, my lover's prayer would be all over, oh my
What can the matter be now?
It can't be too serious we can't talk it over
Living in this misery
Darling, you can't make my life all over
Honey but don't you let that be no problem
Just come on home and help me solve 'em
Dear, I won't be missing you, I won't be missing you
And my lover's prayer would be all over
It got to be all over, honey all over
Don't keep my life going round, so many circles
This is my lover's prayer, come on come on home,
This is my lover's prayer I'm singing it out to you
And I hope it'll reach you, darlin'
This is my lover's prayer
A LOVER'S PRAYER - Don Ho - 1966
Lyric: Don Ho
I do believe the Lord above
Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest
Because he knew I'd love you best
I once had a heart and it was true
But now it's gone from me to you
Take care of it as I have done
For you have two and I have none
If I go to heaven and you're not there
I'll write your name on the golden stair
If you're not there by judgment day
I know you went the other way
I'll give the angels back their wings
Their golden harps and all those things
To prove my love for you is true
I'll go down there to be with you
If I go to heaven and you're not there
I'll write your name on the golden stair
If you're not there by judgment day
I know you went the other way
I'll give the angels back their wings
Their golden harps and all those things
To prove my love for you is true
I'll go to hell to be with you
