IntroDm7G7AmG/BCG/BAmGFGCFGC
I brushed some pine needles off of memories today
CFGCG/B
My fingers traced a stone etched with a date and a name
AmGFEm
Of simple country lady so gentle yet so strong
Dm7G
Her mem’ry floods my heart as I recall
CFGC
She didn’t have a lot but there was something that she knew
CFGCG/B
And it meant the world when she would say son I’ll pray for you
AmGFEm
And whenever she would kneel beside her little rocking chair
Dm7G
She’d turn her simple home into a holy house of prayer
FEm
And though she’s gone away
FGE/AbAmAm/GD/GbFG
There’s something that I really want to say
CFCGC
Thank you for praying, praying for me
CFCGC
I never could repay the time you spent down on your knees
FEm
I’m where I am today
FGE/AbAmAm/GD/Gb
Because you chose to pray and intercede
FG
Thank you for praying, praying for me
Dm7G7AmG/BCG/BAmGFGCFGC
Everyone has someone in your life you can recall
CFGCG/BA constant source of strength for you whenever you would fall
AmGFEm
And when you felt so lonely in times of desperate need
Dm7G
You knew that you could count on them to be down on their knees
FEm
To our heroes of the faith
FGE/AbAmAm/GD/GbFG
There’s something that we all would love to say
CFCGC
Thank you for praying, praying for me
CFCGC
I never could repay the time you spent down on your knees
FEm
I’m where I am today
FGE/AbAmAm/GD/Gb
Because you chose to pray and intercede
FG
Thank you for praying
F
And when that day comes and all things will be revealed
AmG
And our Father lets us see with open eyes
F
We will understand that we were carried on the wings
Dm7G
Of the prayers of faithful people in our lives
CFCGC
Thank you for praying, praying for me
CFCGC
I never could repay the time you spent down on your knees
FEm
I am where I am today
FGE/AbAmAm/GD/Gb
Because you chose to pray and intercede
FGDm7C
Thank you for praying, praying for me
