Hymn #2--The Prayers of Two

The Spirit prays continually
My weakness never stops His pleas
And when words fail my prayerful thoughts
He groans for me, prays what I ought

Father, You hear the prayers of Two
Whose prayers for me are sweet to You
And though my prayers are fault’ring words
I rest secure; their prayers are heard

Jesus, My Great High Priest always
Pours prayers for my sustaining grace
He prays, “protect and purify
And unify, and glorify!”

Father, You hear the prayers of Two
Whose prayers for me are sweet to You
Though my best prayers are fault’ring words
I rest secure; their prayers are heard

I’m thankful for the prayers for me
Christ and the Spirit’s loving pleas
My prayers without them would be noise
But through them You hear a lovely voice

Father, You hear the prayers of Two
Whose prayers for me are sweet to You
And though my prayers are fault’ring words
I rest secure; their prayers are heard

What comfort’s mine; what perfect rest,
What grounds for peace and happiness
That One, Yet Three should all agree
Two pray for me; One hears their pleas

Father, You hear the prayers of Two
Whose prayers for me are sweet to You
And though my prayers are fault’ring words
I rest secure; their prayers are heard

Hymn #1: My Opened Eyes

A darkened prison held my soul
Though dark as night, I loved it so.
I loved my chains, though hid from view
I knew not love, I knew not You

My opened eyes now love the light
Which saw no sun, knew only night
And now my hands once bound by sin
Are free to serve my Loving King

I, under sentence, knew no life
But knew well anger, lust, and strife
When I’d despaired of finding grace
My Judge came down and took my place

All my best words could not express
My awe at His Great Faithfulness
That He Whom I’d offended so
Should call me child, and friend also
