Karaoké For These Times Martina McBride

For these times in which we live

Where the worst of what we live

Is laid out for all the world on the front page

And the sound of someone's heartbreak

Is a sound bite at the news break

With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face

Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye

And stops to pray for these times in which we live

In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power

Is a fight that is fought everyday

And freedom is a word some cry out and some whisper

And some are just too quick to give away

Blessed be the one who stands by the one

On the battle line for these times in which we live

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy and arms I will open wide

For these times in which we live

Seems like the only answer is givin' up on findin' one at all

And we hide behind unsure pull the blinds and lock the doors

And hang a pleasant picture on the wall

Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer

And the only breath of life for these times in which we live

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy and arms I will open wide

Yeah give me words full of loving kindness and

Hands ready to hold up a light yeah

For these times in which we live

For these times in which we live

And blessed be the child yeah yeah yeah yeah for these times

Everybody just stop and pray for these times these times in which we live
