"This Is The Prayer That I Pray"
Words, Music, Arr. by Lawrence Keith Holder.
This song was written especially for Nelly Andarawis to sing at her brother's
weddding, March 22, 1999. Nelly was searching for a song that shared the special
closeness she had with her brother, and I wrote the lyrics with that theme in
mind.
Feedback is appreciated. Just send a short e-mail note to lholder@utm.edu
and let me know what you think of this song and/or this method of outreach.

1. Has the time really gone by so quickly?
Seems in no time at all we have grown.
You have always been there as my brother,
With the care and the kindness you've shown.
Now today, you step out toward the future
With the gift of the Lord by your side,
With the blessing of all who have gathered
To rejoice, as you stand with your bride.
(Chorus)
May you togther
Grow stronger each day in your love.
Sharing forever
The grace of our Father above.
May He shower His blessings upon you,
As you live for His glory each day.
May He comfort and guide you, my brother:
This is the prayer that I pray.
2. I am glad I can share in this moment,
As we've shared in so many before.
Now you've found love that lasts for a lifetime,
As together you walk through the door.
I am glad that as onward we travel,
The road that we share does not end.
For I am not losing a brother --
I am gaining a sister and friend!
(Chorus)
May you togther
Grow stronger each day in your love.
Sharing forever
The grace of our Father above.
May He shower His blessings upon you,
As you live for His glory each day.
May He comfort and guide you, forever:
This is the prayer that I pray.
May He comfort and guide you,
my brother, my sister...
...This is the prayer that I pray.
