The Intercession Lyrics

The Intercession
(written by V. Michael McKay)
(recorded by Kim McFarland)


Verse 1:
Lord, I come on behalf on my brother,
even though I have needs of my own.
Real joy means You first, Lord, and then others,
I'm not here for myself, but it's for someone else.

Once You've met the needs of my brother,
I'll rejoice knowing soon You'll meet mine;
I have come on behalf on my brother,
praise You, Lord, for You always bless on time.

Verse 2:
It's not mine to question how You test us,
it's just mine to live by Your Holy word.
You allow sunshine to some
and You allow rain for others,
yet You're just,
for we'll all have both in time.

In the midst of my gloom, give to my brother,
all that he needs just to make it through;
Lord, I've come on behalf on my brother,
praise You, Lord, for blessings come from You.

Chorus:
Real joy means You first, Lord, and then others,
I'm not here for myself,
I'm down here interceding for someone else.

Please mend broken hearts,
change doubtful minds,
with Your finger of love, touch dying souls,
make my brother whole.

Lord, I've come on behalf on my brother,
real joy means You first, Lord, and then others;
Lord, I'm not asking for myself, but it's for someone else.

Lord, I'm not asking for myself,
but I'm down here interceding for someone else.

I'm not asking for myself, but it's for someone else.
