Guide us with your grace, give us faith so we'll be safe

I thought it was about time to do some blogging again, and what better time than the end of one year and the beginning of another?   I get so much from music and have become a fan of Pentatonix, the leading American a capella group, that is there is no accompaniment as the five members produce all the sounds.

Here for the New Year is their version of 'The Prayer' a song with many versions, but this one really shows their skills and the beauty of the arrangements.  The lyrics are below. 

Let this be our prayer...  and a blessed New Year!

I pray you'll be our eyes   and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise     in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer   when we lose our way

Lead us to a place   Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe 

 

La luce che tu hai   I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà    And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che   When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei    Oh
 

Nella mia preghiera   Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è   When shadows fill our days

Lead us to a place   Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

 

A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
And we'll remember we are all God's children
Reaching out to touch in
Reaching to the sky

 

We ask that life be kind

And watch us from above

We hope each soul will find

Another soul to love

 

Let this be our prayer -

Just like every child   needs to find a place

Guide us with your grace   Give us faith so we'll be safe

Needs to find a place   Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
