Jesu grant me this I pray

Sing:
Jesu grant me this I pray
Ever in your heart to stay
Let me evermore abide
Hidden in your wounded side

Rap:
I'm looking for a safe space
Somewhere I can sense Your face
Somewhere where the speed of life
will never crush your peaceful place
You could say I am hiding
Cos life is getting frightening.
Its dangerous and stressful
And the city's rules are stifling.

Sing:
Life's an urban jungle here
Time runs faster year by year
I'll be safe if I can hide
In your heart and wounded side.

Rap:
Life in the rat race
Running at a fast pace
Trying to catch up to the only place I want to be
strangled by the deadlines and crying at the headlines
trying to catch on To the rhythm of eternity

Sing:
Strangled by society's pace
We are losing this rat race
Bring me home, yes be my guide
To your heart and wounded side.

Rap:
Looking for the silence
in the heartbeat of the city
Longing for some Heaven on Earth
cos concrete isn't pretty
Crying out for justice
when the children are in pain
Knowing that our Christ
can bring us people back to life again.
