I Prayed For You Today
I prayed for you today.
I prayed for you today.
I couldn’t be there,
But I prayed for you today.
Your mother’s service –
For peace for you and your brother.
That God would lift you up,
That God would give you comfort.
I prayed for those presiding –
That they would say
Just the right words
To help and bless you.
I prayed thanking God
For your mother’s life,
And her kindness and
Faithfulness to Him.
I prayed thanking God
For sending His Son
So your mother can
Be with Him.
I prayed for you today.
I know He will answer
And comfort you
In every way.
I prayed for you today.
