Somebody’s Praying For Me Lyrics by Don Moen
I was lost in a desert land
So dry and thirsty
But God was there where He’d always been
Giving grace and mercy
So hard to sing and hard to pray
Yet I know His Word was true
And then one day my faith returned
And suddenly I knew
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s knocking on heaven’s door
Somebody’s praying for me
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord
(Well) I knew it had to be
Somebody down on their knees
Somebody praying for me
I’ve been spared by so many prayers
How many times I could not say
What a difference a prayer can make
When it’s offered up in faith
God has always made a way
When I didn’t know what to do
Just when I needed a miracle
That’s when your prayers broke through
Now I know that friend was you
You were the gift God gave me
‘Cuz when you prayed His love broke through
It was your prayers that saved me
Thank you for praying for me
Thank you for knocking on heaven’s door
Thank you for praying for me
Thank you for lifting me up to the Lord
Now I can clearly seebe
That you were the one on your knees
So thank you for praying for me
