somebody's praying for me

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 knew 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

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

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

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 prayer 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 see

that you were the one on your knees

so thank you for praying for me

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
