I Prayed A Prayer For You
by Kathleen Higham

I prayed a prayer for you tonight
And I promise to pray tomorrow
A heavy sigh escapes from me
A little moment of you I borrow.

There is a calmness in your words
Maybe even a serene-like peace
Having been a student of pain
When it leaves, a sweet release.

I prayed a prayer for you tonight
Something I never thought to do
It was such a tender prayer
Praying Godly thoughts for you.

Even now I can hear your voice
It will never leave, you see
Especially now I'm old and gray
Still it comes, comes to me.

I prayed a prayer for you tonight
From my heart a prayer so pure
Touched by your sincerity
A prayer to help you endure.

When life comes at you hard
It can bring you pretty low
Remember that I prayed for you
And I wanted you to know.

I prayed a prayer for you tonight
The Lord and I had this talk
I prayed a prayer for you tonight
In the quiet of my walk.

I prayed a prayer for you tonight
Knowing God is by your side
I prayed a prayer for you tonight
Then one last tear I cried.
