[music: Wead, Marcolin, lyrics: Marcolin]
My father was undergoing surgery
His heart had failed him so terribly
The operation was very dangerous
I felt so helpless I thought of God
I prayed my father would not die
I prayed that he would be just fine
I prayed to God to see him through
I prayed and I believed in You
When I was stuck by harsh reality
It opened up my eyes so I could see
While I was sitting there in the waiting room
There was only one thing I could do
I prayed my father would not die
