Stand In The Gap Lyrics

Stand In The Gap lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman 

Based on Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16



There's no feeling 

Like when you have a friend in need 

Their heart is wounded - 

And you can feel your own heart bleed 

And you wonder 

Will they pull through this attack 

You feel so helpless - you want to be fighting back 

Don't think it's over - don't pull away 

It's time to stand in - it's time to pray 

Set the wheels in motion 

With your devotion 



Stand in the gap 

Coming boldly to His throne of grace 

Stand in the gap 

He will hear you when you seek His face 

Put your weapon to its use 

And believe it will produce 

Stand in the gap 

Until all hell... 

Until all hell breaks loose 



In the conflict 

It seems like He doesn't hear 

Be encouraged - He still has an open ear 

It's not for nothing 

It's not in vain 

Make your petitions 

Call on His name 

He will bring assistance 

Through your persistance 



The enemy is gonna have to fold his hand 

When the army of the Lord begins to take command 

Nothing in the heavens or the earth can stand 

Against the fervent prayer of a righteous man
