LYRICS    
Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to protect
those who walk in, to hear God's Truth from
Satan who HATES them, yet comes to church too: <see John 10:10>
Eager to seize the seeds of God's Word, sown while people sit in these seats .....
Do we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ???
 
CHORUS
Do we care enough to give up TIME to PRAY THE SEATS before meetings?
Do we believe God's own Son who WARNED that the Enemy of God SHALL
TRY to SNATCH God's WORD seeds?
IF we TRUST that we NEED God's help,
won't we fervently call to Him, Caringly PRAY THE SEATS ???
 
Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to provide
His own Wisdom to those who teach, encourage
them while Satan tries to Deceive. For
Jesus said Satan tries to seize God's Word, sown even in church, in these seats...
Do we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ??? >> CHORUS

Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to protect
all from giving in to temptations to
focus on Self and hurt feelings in here. For
Jesus said Satan has his own harvest, to seize away God's Word in church....
Will we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ??? 
>> CHORUS

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:    
And JESUS said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? “The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts." (Mark 4:13-15)

JESUS said: “The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved." (Luke 8:11-12)

JESUS said: “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside." (Mark 13: 18-19)

LYRICS Story:     
I ran a huge monitor board for a big multi-ethnic church in 2007-08, and got there
an hour before service to do a 40 minute setup & mic checks. When I began, the prayer team had over a dozen Prayer Warriors coming to PRAY THE SEATS (first time I'd heard that phrase) before EVERY service. As months went by, fewer & fewer people were coming to pray. 
 
Two years later, they were down to 2 people who usually could come.... and the church underwent a *horrendous*,  not-to-be-described upheaval that literally splintered the wonderful fellowship we had once known into multiple mini churches. 
WHEN WE STOP PRAYING.... 
SATAN GETS A WIN. Or MANY wins.
