The Prayer


I have several favorites but this particular song stands out as one that touches my heart every time I hear it. It’s most famously known as a duet sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. The Prayer is written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa and Tony Renis and was first released in March of 1999. Thank you to Eduardo Tercero for joining me for this musical recording.

The Prayer

I pray you'll be our eyes

And watch us where we go

And help us to be wise

In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer

When we lose our way

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

To a place where we'll be safe.

I pray we'll find your light.

(I pray we'll find your light)

And hold it in our hearts

(And hold it in our hearts)

When stars go out each night

(When stars go out each night)

Remind us where you are.

Let this be our prayer

(Let this be our prayer)

When shadows fill our day

(When shadows fill our day)

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.


A world where pain and

sorrow will be ended

And every heart

that's broken will be mended

And we'll remember

we are all

God's children

Reaching out to touch you

Reaching to the sky.

We ask that life be kind

(We ask that life be kind)

And watch us from above

(And watch us from above)

We hope each soul will find

(We hope each soul will find)

Another soul to love

(Another soul to love)

Let this be our prayer

(Let this be our prayer)

Just like every child.

Just like every child.

Needs to find a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

Needs to find a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe
