Full Song Lyrics

Prayers For The Fire (Wildfire Families & Animals) - [Verse 1]

Watched the news last night, saw the flames light up the hill, Saw the families runnin', hearts poundin' loud and still, Grabbed what they could carry, left the rest behind, Prayin' for the ones who didn't have the time.

[Verse 2]

Somewhere out there a dog is barkin' at the smoke, Somewhere out there a family's holdin' hope,

Lost the house, lost the memories, lost the yard where the kids once played, But not the love that's holdin' 'em together through the blaze.

[Chorus]

Lord, hold the families, hold the animals too, Wrap 'em in Your mercy, see 'em safely through, Every home that's burnin', every heart that's torn, Lord, be the light that guides 'em till the mornin' dawn. [Verse 3]

Firefighters runnin' toward the thing we're runnin' from,

Braver than the rest of us, answerin' the call, Rescuers out searchin' for the pets left behind, Carryin' 'em to safety, one more life, one more find. Rescuers out searchin' for the pets left behind, Carryin' 'em to safety, one more life, one more find.

[Chorus]

Lord, hold the families, hold the animals too, Wrap 'em in Your mercy, see 'em safely through, Every home that's burnin', every heart that's torn, Lord, be the light that guides 'em till the mornin' dawn.

[Bridge - slow, gravelly, half-spoken]

For every family standin' in the ashes tonight...

For every animal still lookin' for their way home...

We're prayin' for you. We're standin' with you.

You are not forgotten. You are not alone.

[Final Chorus - big, reverent, hopeful]

Lord, hold the families, hold the animals too,

Send Your strength and mercy, see this heartbreak through, Rebuild what's broken, restore what's lost and torn, Lord, hold 'em close tonight, and hold 'em till the dawn.
