Standing In the Gap

I heard that you were hurting
That you were suffering pain
But I didn't dare just turn my head
And look the other way
For when your heart is aching
My heart is aching too
Let me help you bear your burden
That's the least that I can do

I'll be standing in the gap for you
Just remember someone somewhere
Is praying for you
Calling out your name
Praying for your strength
I'll be standing in the gap for you

Right now you may be troubled
But everything will work out fine
For the Spirit knows before you speak
What is on your heart and mind
So I'll be interceding
'Til you're standing strong again
The peace that passes understanding
Is gonna be yours, but until then

I'll be standing in the gap for you
Just remember someone somewhere
Is praying for you
Calling out your name
Praying for your strength
I'll be standing in the gap for you

So hang on, my friend
It won't be long
And you'll have the strength
To carry on, yeah
For when two or three are walking together
It will be a much lighter load
For isn't that what a brother
And a sister are for?

I'll be standing in the gap for you
Just remember someone somewhere
Is praying for you
Calling out your name
I'm gonna be praying for your strength
I'll be standing in the gap for you

Standing in the gap for you
Just remember someone somewhere
I'll be praying for you
Calling out your name
I'm gonna be praying for your strength
I'll be standing in the gap for you...
