I'll pray for you

I live a life full of sin
Don't go to church on every Sunday
I spend my morning sleeping in
Dreading that day called Monday
A man sits on my corner
Alone, and cold wishing he was warmer
Every day he asks me for a dime
Til one day I gave him some of my time
He told me he lost his job and lost his wife
He was sitting there thinking of taking his life
I told him there's a million reasons not to
I can't give you money, but here's what I'll do

I'll pray for you
For all the hard times you're going through
For the chance to renew
And a warm boiling pot of stew
I'll pray for you
Because that's what we're supposed to do
No matter what this life comes to
Know that I'll pray for you

I walked away, with a new found promise
When I stumbled across a woman lacking confidence
Her big blue eyes blinked away the tears
The cancer was taking away her years
She said the doc told her they could do more
The months of her life were limited to four
She had so much more to achieve
She had nothing else to believe
I put my hand on the back of her head
Took a deep breath and calmly said

I'll pray for you
For the hard times you're going through
For a miracle to appear
And for the end to not be so near
I'll pray for you
Because that's what we're supposed to do
No matter what this life comes to
Know I'll pray for you.

3 years later I sat in a hospital bed
A drunk driver had left me for dead
Everything I had ever known
Was waiting for me at the heavenly throne
All I could keep thinking was the word no
I told the lord I wasn't ready to go
The nurse came in and took my vitals
She was a kind woman with a fancy title
I asked her what exactly had it come down to
She said things looked rough, but here's what I'll do

I'll pray for you
For all the hard times you're going through
For the strength to win a losing fight
To never give up with all your might
I'll pray for you
Because that's what we're supposed to do
No matter what this life comes to
Know I'll pray for you

Now I'm here by God's good grace
I now know that in this world I have a place
To help those less than me
To find the one and start a family
And with each breath I take
I know my life is heaven made
And no matter what I'm going through
Just know I'll pray for you
