When I Pray for You
One evening I was praying for a teen I had met in a Khan Academy Discord server. He was having a panic attack due to abuse and the loss of friend who had committed suicide. I talked to him for several hours and have prayed for him for several years. He is understandably antagonistic toward God, confusing the actions of the adults in his life with the actions of God. He is a hard-headed rascal, but he's also brilliant, compassionate, and creative. I love him and pray for him. This song was written for the multitude of kids out there that should have been loved and valued by their own parents - because they are loveable, amazing and talented.
AM E7 AM
I saw you looking back at me
Dm C Am
A thousand miles and window glass. . . window glass between
E7 Am
I felt a tear slide down our cheek
E7 Am
The pain each time our faint heart beats
E7 Am
And I want you to know that you are not alone
E7 Am
When I pray to God tonight I’ll ask for the strength to fight
E7 Am
For you once more.
Dm C Am
And I’ll say, “thank you for this life”
Dm C Am
I’ll say, “thank you for this fight”
Dm C Am
I’ll say, “thank you, Jesus Christ,”
E7 Am
When I pray for you tonight.
AM E7 AM
I see you looking back at me
Dm C Am
A thousand miles and window glass. . . window glass between
E7 Am
I’m reaching out with all my strength
E7 Am
To let you feel the life in me
E7 Am
And I want you to know, that you are not alone
E7 Am
When I pray to God tonight, I will thank him for the life
E7 Am
He gave for yours.
