about

This song is about my Dad, but it could be about anybody who had a faithfully praying Dad. If you have a praying Dad, then you know what a blessing it is, and how much your life has benefitted from his constant prayers over you.

lyrics

Son, can we pray
Right here on the phone
Just close your eyes
And let's go to the Lord
Thank you for my son
And we ask you for your help
Let him know your love
Draw him closer to yourself

There was always love, in Dad's prayers
You could always count on him
And know that they'd be there
There was always power, in Dad's prayers

He prayed for the ones he loved
And those who were in need
A talk with him would heal you like
Fresh water to a dried up seed
You knew that when he went home
Before he laid down his head
He would find the time to take your problem
to the Lord on his knees

There was always hope, in Dad's prayers
You could always count on him
And know that they'd be there
There was always power, in Dad's prayers

The man worked day and night
Weekends and midnights
Sometimes the money was there
And sometimes the well ran dry
But he always knew
Where all good things come from
And he put down firm roots
In the savior of his life

There was always love, in Dad's prayers
You could always count on him
And know that they'd be there

There was always power
There was always hope
There was always love
In Dad's prayers
