Prayer of the Faithful
Please come down from off your alter
I called you friend before I called you Father
And I need a friend
Today I gave away my daughter
To a man just like her father
And I want to die
Oh my child it breaks my heart
To hear this talk, I won't see you part
With your own life
Place your faith into his hands
Though none of us can know God's plan
Well love will survive
No more will my life be twisted
By the hands of a man
And you can call it what you want
But you're kneeling where you used to stand
And I've seen love
Baby this ain't it
And I've seen love
Once or twice
Well your old man he's rich and mean
And he holds you like a brick
All the wrong he ever done
It landed but it didn't stick
Cos I see love
behind your weary eyes
And I see love
Here tonight
Oh tell me Father how we got so lost
And how we got so old
Ignoring all those lifelines
We were too afraid to hold
And now they're way out of sight
And I want you to come in tonight
God forgive our trespasses, I know your husband he won't
But the sin is minor if I act and it's mortal if I don't
Cos I've seen love
Kind I looked for all my life
And I've seen love
Let your kiss be my last rite
I called you friend before I called you Father
And I need a friend
Today I gave away my daughter
To a man just like her father
And I want to die
Oh my child it breaks my heart
To hear this talk, I won't see you part
With your own life
Place your faith into his hands
Though none of us can know God's plan
Well love will survive
No more will my life be twisted
By the hands of a man
And you can call it what you want
But you're kneeling where you used to stand
And I've seen love
Baby this ain't it
And I've seen love
Once or twice
Well your old man he's rich and mean
And he holds you like a brick
All the wrong he ever done
It landed but it didn't stick
Cos I see love
behind your weary eyes
And I see love
Here tonight
Oh tell me Father how we got so lost
And how we got so old
Ignoring all those lifelines
We were too afraid to hold
And now they're way out of sight
And I want you to come in tonight
God forgive our trespasses, I know your husband he won't
But the sin is minor if I act and it's mortal if I don't
Cos I've seen love
Kind I looked for all my life
And I've seen love
Let your kiss be my last rite
