I Said a Prayer

I said a prayer for you today
it bounced from cloud to cloud
God heard it loud and clear
and now he's smiling down

when you're awake 
and when you're asleep
the love he has for you
The purest so true and deep

I said a prayer for you today
blessed be your heart and soul
I know to show you love him
is your daily goal

I said a prayer for you today
blessed be his name
turn to the Lord our God
when your world becomes insane

because every time you pray
he hears you loud and clear
he wraps his arms around you
and starts to hold you near

God loves all his children
every single one
I know you've read the good book
and you know how it begun

I said a prayer for you today
I gave it my all
may the Lord guide you
and pick you up when you fall

to heal you when your sick 
and when all becomes lost
just hit your knees and pray
it really has no cost

I said a prayer for you today
it was the best I ever said
I'll say another for you in the morning
then before I go to bed
