As I Wait, I Pray Lyrics

"Lord, send me a husband, A partner and a friend. A man who'll choose me every morning, And choose me again and again."

As I Wait, I Pray

(Verse 1)

Lord, somewhere beneath these same stars tonight,

There's a man You're shaping by Your hand.

Teaching him courage, teaching him grace,

Preparing him for all You've planned.

A warrior with a gentle heart,

A man who walks in truth each day.

A lover of You before all else,

Following Your righteous way.

(Pre-Chorus)

While You're working on his journey,

Keep working on me too.

Make us ready for the blessing

Only You can bring us through.

(Chorus)

Lord, send me a husband,

A partner and a friend.

A man who'll choose me every morning,

And choose me again and again.

Faithful through the seasons,

Standing strong when storms arise.

A man who loves with honesty,

And sees the beauty in my eyes.

Lord, send me a husband,

One whose heart belongs to You.

And if You write our story,

Let it be beautiful and true.

(Verse 2)

A man who takes responsibility,

For his words and every choice.

Who listens with compassion,

And makes his family feel a voice.

A man who's present at the table,

A father children can admire.

A provider and protector,

With integrity and fire.

A man who knows that strength is found

Not only in standing tall.

But in opening up his heart,

And being vulnerable through it all.

(Chorus)

Lord, send me a husband,

A partner and a friend.

A man who'll choose me every morning,

And choose me again and again.

Faithful through the seasons,

Standing strong when storms arise.

A man who loves with honesty,

And sees the beauty in my eyes.

(Bridge)

Give us patience for the process,

Give us wisdom for the wait.

Keep us walking in Your purpose,

Until You open Heaven's gate.

May he know that he is worthy,

May he walk in who he is.

And when our paths finally cross,

May he recognize this gift.

(Final Chorus)

Lord, send me a husband,

A man of faith and grace.

A gentleman with tender hands,

And kindness on his face.

A man who shares his heart with me,

His dreams, his soul, his mind.

A man who's not afraid of love,

And leaves no truth behind.

Lord, send me a husband,

If that's Your will for me.

A man who walks beside me

In purpose and destiny.

(Outro)

Until that day, I'll trust You.

I'll leave tomorrow in Your care.

For every good and perfect gift

Begins with a faithful prayer.

Amen.
