"This I Pray" lyrics - STRYPER

[Intro:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Forgive me, Lord, for I have sinned
Have mercy on the shape I'm in
And if I've fallen from Your grace
Help me, Lord, to find my place
I'm in a storm with no way out
The waters rough I'm tossed about
I know that there's blue sky above
It's in Your mercy and Your love

[Chorus:]
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray
Oh, yeah

I crossed a bridge and lost my way
For years and years I've gone astray
And if I live another day
I pray the Lord to guide my way
I need a savior here and now
I know I'm sinking yet somehow
I'm reaching for some final peace
Before my time begins to cease

[Chorus:]
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light
So take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day, yeah yeah
I swear I won't go down without a fight
The darkest night will always lead to light, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Take my hand and help me find my way
I don't wanna die, just give me one more day
This I pray

[Outro:]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
