[Verse 1] I step in bowed, no swagger, just dust on my knees Paper in my trembling hand, heart full of needs Door swings wide like judgment, yet mercy sits enthroned King of the universe, I’m not here alone I brought my broken docket, my rent and my shame My brother’s wound, my mother’s tears, my tangled name The floor is glass and fire, the air is pure and bright Still I walk in, still I speak, still I ask for light [Pre-Chorus] Take my plea Take my plea I have no crown Only need [Chorus] Prayer at the throne Prayer at the throne I lay it down I bring it home (Prayer at the throne) Prayer at the throne Prayer at the throne King of the universe Hear my soul (Hear my soul) [Verse 2] If I’m the clay, then shape me, if I’m the stray, then lead If the walls are built from mercy, let them hear my need For the child with the fever, for the addict in the hall For the house that keeps on shaking, for the one who might fall I’m not pitching perfect language, just the ache in my chest A petition signed in blood and breath, a plea for rest And if you answer quiet, I’ll still know it’s You The hand that holds the galaxies can hold me too [Pre-Chorus] Take my plea Take my plea I have no crown Only need [Chorus] Prayer at the throne Prayer at the throne I lay it down I bring it home (Prayer at the throne) Prayer at the throne Prayer at the throne King of the universe Hear my soul (Hear my soul) [Bridge] [Beat drops to chopped voice slices and muted kick] Split the words, stitch the grief Scratch the sky, then bow beneath If I have nothing left to give, I give You this: my yes to live [Outro] Prayer Prayer In the throne room I am heard Prayer Prayer King of the universe I am Yours
