    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

      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

      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

  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

    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

        A/G               D/F#
To our heroes of the faith
           A/G            A7        A#dim   Bm7  E7sus  E7  Em7  G/A

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

Thank you for praying

              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
