Listen to this mesmerizing performance by Katherine McPhee and Michael Bolton when they sing ‘The Prayer’ as a duet with her husband David Foster on the piano. 

Can you imagine two well-known voices coming together to sing a song written about selfless love? Katharine had planned to sing alone when David invited Michael to stay and sing with his wife. In case you didn’t know, David actually wrote the song, ‘The Prayer’ for Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli to sing together. 

I love the moment when Michael agreed and commented in a serious but teasing fashion that ‘The Prayer’ is one of the best-written songs of all time. Katharine came on stage in an elegant silver evening gown. She was poised and full of grace as she looked lovingly at her husband before she stood by Michael. As the rich piano tunes filled the air, the first lyrics of the song elegantly wafted into the air too.

“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 a place, guide us with your grace, to a place where we'll be safe”

What a stunning impromptu performance between these two. Michael, with his years of being a vocalist, harmonizes perfectly with Katharine’s ethereal voice creating a beautiful melody. 

As the song came to an end, they hit the high notes in unison and carried the last note together. Katharine smiled and grabbed Michael’s hand to lead him off stage as David asked the crowd to give both Katharine and Michael a round of applause. It was well deserved. 

What a lovely, rich performance. May this song bless you and warm your heart. And we hope that you enjoyed watching this video and listening to ‘The Prayer’ performed by Katharine McPhee, Michael Bolton, accompanied by David Foster.

1 John 5:14-15 
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”
