Intercede

She was a teen that used to go to church with mom and dad
But mom and dad Had a marriage that was really bad
And what's so sad it that her parents used to be so glad
The years had past the dad had packed a bag and ran with that
He left their mother, the sister, the brother
The marriage went under, he found pleasure in other things
The liquor bottle was a model that would make him sing
A drunken mindset is a trap that people struggle to see
Divorce had followed, mom and her father would no longer be
The judge had settled that there would be joint custody
The teen girl would cry at night
Wonderin' why her mom and dad didn't fight for this
Two kids, her parents still split, it's almost like the devil got exactly what he wanted to get
That night, she had a prayer list
She asked for intercession and it sounded like this

I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name
I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name Lord, yuh

She's 43 years old
11 years of ministry have been thrown
In the trash, and just like that
20 years of marriage gone that wont come back
She's driving lookin at herself in the rear-view
The mascara that he bought her starts to let all the tears through
Just like the foundation that was on her face
The foundation they had in Jesus was washed away
She asked herself, How on earth did we grow apart?
They'd been together for so long, High school sweethearts
He became a drunk, violent so resistant
How'd they get divorced, they were supposed to be Christian
But suddenly wait a minute
Hold up a man she started thinkin
She realized that the consequences resulting from their decisions
Would affect the kids, would affect their minds, that infectious sin, would infect their lives
Could lead them in, to the same demise
They used to walk in truth but now they're livin' lies
She remembered somethin bout divorced couples gettin' back together
Sometimes the worst weather can be what shows all the hidden treasure
She decided to make a prayer list
She asked for intercession it went somethin like this

I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name
I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name Lord, yuh

He was a father and a husband
Now he sits alone feelin like nothin
Teardrops formed and run from his eyes
Like the water droplets runnin' down his beer bottle side
He got a phone call that he never expected
It was his ex-wife, so the call he rejected
She kept on callin' him but he wouldn't accepted it
So she sent bad news, on a txt message
His heart was ripped up, it nearly made him spit up
He sprinted out and drove to the hospital in his pick-up
When he showed up his daughter was layin' in a hospital bed
The doctor said a drunk driver hit her she probably wont make it
Lets fast forward, about 3 months later
The father in this story got right our Creator
He went right to the Savior, and asked Him for His favor
His daughter got healed an answer to his prayers
He re-proposed, and got remarried to ex-wife
A mother and a daughters prayers God heard 'em those nights
The wife looked at her husband and asked what changed in him
He said he prayed to God somethin like this

I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name
I pray You'd intercede
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
My resistance was in vain
It led to so much pain
Now I'm callin' on Your name Lord, yuh
