Prayer For You
Prayer for Y0u
Scott Krippayne, Steve Siler, Tony Wood
Half my heart is half a world away
It feels like the life in me is missing
From the moment I awake
I put on my brave face
and fight back the tears that want to flow
it almost hurts me more to hear your voice
’cause it makes me want to fell your arms around me
We ache across the miles
We have to for awhile
but still there is hope
i’m sending out a prayer for you
Knowing that you’re praying too
While we’re living in this loneliness
We can trust
the God that we’re both looking to
is looking out for us
We can find the strength to carry on
We have love enough to bridge the distance
and love will see us through
til I can be with you
Until then we’re not alone
cause
i’m sending out a prayer for you
Knowing that you’re praying too
While we’re living in this loneliness
We can trust
the God that we’re both looking to
is looking out for us

I’ve been looking for the song Prayer for You. I heard it when we lived in Florida and my husband was deployed for months at a time. I’ll never forget – I was driving, it was raining, the song came on “out of the blue” and it couldn’t have hit my heart any harder. I’ve never forgotten it, and there has been no other song like it to relate the feelings we experience all too often.

I just listened to Prayer for You. It was a moving experience. I served in Iraq. I will tell you that God, through the prayers of my family and friends, is what sustained me. Your song brought back a lot of intense emotions. It’s beautiful.

I listened to Prayer for You and tears flowed. It is so true, those words. I miss my sweet husband so much and it hurst so bad. Music is so healing. Thank you so much for the wonderful song.

A sweet and special song that means the world to me and all who are going through this. You caught every feeling and put it into words.
