Petra - Stand In The Gap Lyrics






[Based on Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16]

There's no feeling
Like when you have a friend in need
Their heart is wounded -
And you can feel your own heart bleed
And you wonder
Will they pull through this attack
You feel so helpless - you want to be fighting back
Don't think it's over - don't pull away
It's time to stand in - it's time to pray
Set the wheels in motion
With your devotion

Stand in the gap
Coming boldly to His throne of grace
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face
Put your weapon to its use
And believe it will produce
Stand in the gap
Until all hell...
Until all hell breaks loose

In the conflict
It seems like He doesn't hear
Be encouraged - He still has an open ear
It's not for nothing
It's not in vain
Make your petitions
Call on His name
He will bring assistance
Through your persistance

The enemy is gonna have to fold his hand
When the army of the Lord begins to take command
Nothing in the heavens or the earth can stand
Against the fervent prayer of a righteous man

  1. D.... L....

  2. D.... E....

    One of my all time favorite Petra songs!

    D.... E....

    This song is actually one of my honerable mentions. 

  3. T.... B....

    Standing in the gap is not for the faint of heart! prayerwarriors only! PtL! thanx Petra!

  4. D.... ....

    I never thought I would ever be convicted by a hair metal song, but I popped in this album today on my way to Bible study and wept when I really listened to the lyrics of this song. It's such a great reminder to pray for your brothers in Christ and not to have selfish prayer life where all you do is pray for your own needs.

  5. R.... ....

    One of the weaker Petra songs. I used to think they were saying, "Send in the Gas!"

    R.... ....

    dang, and I thought mistaking "thy will be done" as being "I will be dead" was bad.

  6. 3.... ....

    Grrrrreat song! This is such a good album. It's kinda like the predecessor to Beyond Belief...

  7. c.... ....

    Dear prayer warrior, Jesus Christ loves you. Don't worry, he will take care of your loneliness! The person who loves God is known by Him!
