If You Pray For Me
Bryan Duncan · Other Songs - Bryan Duncan
I need to know he hears my prayers
And that he cares for me
If you pray for me, tell Lord that I love him, mmmmm
Even though it's hard sometimes
For me to see the light
Lately I have faced the darkest places
I have ever known
Well I hate to say it, lost my way
Found myself alone
'Cause I forgot that I have friends like you
Oh, who know just where to go
So, if you pray for me, tell the Lord I need him
I need to know he hears my prayers and that he cares for me
Oh, I guess I've tried to hide this lonliness
I'm so afraid to come around here
'Cause you might see right through me, yeah
You know my heart feels like an empty nest
A little help and understanding
Is what I'm so ready for
Don't let this hard expression fool ya anymore
If you pray for me, oh
If you pray, pray for me
If you pray for me, tell Lord that I love him, mmmmm
Even though it's hard sometimes
For me to see the light
So if you pray for me
If you pray for me
Tell the Lord I need him, need him
Tell the Lord I love him
I need to know he cares
And that he hears my prayers
And that he cares for me
