[VERSE 1]
D G/D A/D D
I brushed some pine needles off of memories today
D G/D A/D D A/C#
My fingers traced a stone etched with a date and a name
Bm7 D/A G D/F#
Of simple country lady so gentle yet so strong
E7sus E7 G/A A7 G/A
Her mem’ry floods my heart as I re - call
[VERSE 2]
D G/D A/D D
She didn’t have a lot but there was something that she knew
D G/D A7/D D A/C#
And it meant the world when she would say son I’ll pray for you
Bm7 D/A G D/F#
And whenever she would kneel beside her little rocking chair
E7sus E7 Gmaj7/A D/F#
She’d turn her simple home into a holy house of prayer
[Pre-Chorus]
A/G D/F#
And though she’s gone a-way
A/G A7 A#dim Bm7 E7sus E7 Em7 G/A
There’s something that I really want to say
[CHORUS]
D A/D G/D D A/D D G/D
Thank you for pray - in', pray - in' for me
D A/D G/D D A7 D D/F#
I never could re - pay the time you spent down on your knees
A/G D/F#
I’m where I am today
A/G A7 A#dim Bm7 E7sus E7
Because you chose to pray and inter - cede
Em G/A Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7
Thank you for praying, praying for me
[VERSE 3]
D G/D A/D D
Everyone has someone in your life you can recall
D G/D A7/D D A/C#
A constant source of strength for you whenever you would fall
Bm7 D/A G D/F#
And when you felt so lonely in times of desperate need
E7sus E7 Gmaj7/A D/F#
You knew that you could count on them to be down on their knees
[Pre-Chorus]
A/G D/F#
To our heroes of the faith
A/G A7 A#dim Bm7 E7sus E7 Em7 G/A
There’s something that we all would love to say
[CHORUS]
D A/D G/D D A/D D G/D
Thank you for pray - in', pray - in' for me
D A/D G/D D A7 D D/F#
I never could re - pay the time you spent down on your knees
A/G D/F#
I’m where I am today
A/G A7 A#dim Bm7 E7sus E7
Because you chose to pray and inter - cede
Em G/A
Thank you for praying
[BRIDGE]
A/G G A/G G
And when that day comes and all things will be revealed
Bm7 G/A A
And our Father lets us see with open eyes
A/G G A/G G
We will under - stand that we were carried on the wings
D/E E7 Em7/A G#/A#
Of the prayers of faithful people in our lives
[CHORUS][CAPO UP ONE FD T]
