THE PRAYER OF JABEZ
(African Gospel Worship)
Verse 1
In the morning, I lift my hands,
Jesus, You hold my life in Your hands.
Like Jabez, Lord, I humbly pray,
Lead me in Your holy way.
When the road is dark and long,
You are my hope, You are my song.
By Your mercy, hear my cry;
Faithful God, You hear on high.
Pre-Chorus
Stretch out Your mighty hand,
Lead me by Your Spirit.
Let my life bring glory,
Glory to Your name.
Chorus
Oh Lord, bless us indeed!
Enlarge our territory.
Let Your mighty hand be upon us;
Keep us from evil every day.
Not for riches, not for fame,
Let the whole world know Your name.
Jesus Christ, our risen King,
Forever we will worship You.
Verse 2
Bless our homes and bless our land,
Build Your Church by Your own hand.
Raise a people strong in grace,
Shining with Your truth always.
Send us where the lost ones are;
Make us lights that shine afar.
Fill our hearts with holy fire;
Lift us higher and still higher.

Oh Lord, bless us indeed!

We will lift the cross of Christ.
Every tribe and every tongue
Will proclaim that Jesus is Lord!

Your hand upon us,
Your grace within us,
Your Spirit leading day by day.

Until the whole world knows
That Jesus Christ is Lord.
Amen.
