[Verse 1] Before the sun begins to rise Before the world can fill my eyes I lift my heart, I seek Your face You welcome me with endless grace.… [strong storytelling with a cry in your voice] Prayer’s not my last hope in despair It’s where I meet You waiting there The first breath of each brand-new day… Because, Lord Jesus, You made the way…….. [Pre-Chorus building] You gently take me by the hand And lead me where no one else can.…. Into the throne room filled with grace I’m welcomed by my Father’s embrace [Chorus-strong with confidence] When I pray in Jesus’ name He walks beside me all the way “Father, Your child has come to You I need Your mercy, strong and true I don’t stand here on my own Love has brought me to Your throne Every prayer, my heart’s refrain…… I come in Jesus’ holy name…… [Verse 2] You know my fears before I speak You hear the broken and the weak No burden is too great to bear Your loving arms are always there So I’ll come boldly every day Not because I’m strong enough to stay But Christ has opened Heaven’s door And I am welcomed evermore [Bridge] Prayer was purchased at a priceless cost Love reached down to save the lost Not a luxury for a chosen few But life itself because of You Prayer’s my first response each day Not my last when hope fades away The Son of God has made a way I’ll seek Your face before I pray… no… I’ll seek Your face as I pray [Powerful Bridge - building] You take my hand You speak my name You lead me to amazing grace Your scars have opened Heaven’s door I don’t have to strive anymore You are my Advocate above Leading me with endless love [Final Chorus] When I pray in Jesus’ name Heaven opens, love remains Not because of words I’ve said But by the blood my Savior shed I’ll make prayer my first response Before my worries carry on Every morning, every flame… I’ll come in Jesus’ Holy name [Outro] The Son of God has made a way I’ll seek His face every day He takes my hand before the throne… And there, I find my true home……. Because He made a way… Because He made a way………
