Default What do you think of "The Prayer" and prayer dances?

The Prayer
(Duet: Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion)
D. Foster / C. Bayer Sager/ A. Testa / T. Renis)

I pray you'll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to the place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità

La forza che ci dia
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi


I was pianist in a wedding. It was supposed to be sang, but I noticed there was no mention of "God" in the lyrics. (Kind-a "new age" movement?) I'm glad there was a brownout. The song wasn't sung. I heard it many times in the secular world, and I saw it used in "prayer dances".
1. May Christians sing or use this song?
2. What do you think of "prayer dances"?

Looks pretty vague - almost New Age. Don't see any "prayer dances" in the Bible. Sounds like they are following Aaron's sons and lighting some strange fire...

It's totally New Age. Celine Dion is very into New Age. I love Andrea Bocelli's voice but I can't stand about half of what he sings.

Never heard of prayer dances but dancing is considered part of "worship" in some charismatic contexts. Nothing worshipful about it. Yes, as Jerry says, strange fire.
