Verse 1 ~ I need the prayers of those I love,      While trav’ling o’er life’s rugged way, That I may true and faithful be,      And live for Jesus every day. Refrain ~ I want my friends to pray for me,      To bear my tempted soul above, And intercede with God for me;      I need the prayers of those I love. Verse 2 ~ I need the prayers of those I love,      To help me in each trying hour, To bear my tempted soul to Him,      That He may keep me by His power. Verse 3 ~ I want my friends to pray for me,      To hold me up on wings of faith, That I may walk the narrow way,      Kept by our Father’s glorious grace.
