Lyrics
Verse 1
I can hear my daddy praying
I can hear my mama singing
It’s the only reason why I’m standing here
They say prayer was a master key
If I pray then God would answer me
He really did
He showed me his care
Oh his care
Chorus
Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
Keep praying, keep praying
Hold on to the faith and blessing will follow
Keep praying, keep praying
Post Chorus
We are living proof
Of what holding on can do
We are living proof
What holding on can do
Verse 2
He sees every tears that’s falling
He can the pain and burden
He hears every cry to heaven
So Let it rise
Chorus
Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow
Keep praying, keep praying
Hold on to the faith and blessing will follow
Keep praying, keep praying
Bridge
Don’t grow weary
Keep believing
For in due season
You’re going to see it
Don’t give up
Don’t you ever give up
Don’t grow weary
Keep believing
For in due season
You’re going to see it
Don’t give up
Don’t you ever give up
There’s no way
He could let you down
So Keep your head up
knees to the ground
Don’t give up
Don’t you ever give up
Don’t give up
Don’t you ever give up
Post Chorus 2
We are living proof
Of what holding on can do
We are living proof
Of what holding on can do
Say a prayer for your brother
Say a prayer for your friend
Say a prayer for someone
Who really needs it
And see the proof
We’ll see the proof

Meaning & Inspiration
"Keep Praying" traces a legacy of faith from parents who prayed and sang, then shows how that legacy continues through persistent prayer. Its seed-and-harvest image presents prayer as a faithful act anchored in hope, even when the answer is not yet visible. The testimony of standing presents endurance itself as evidence of God’s care.
The bridge draws especially close to Galatians 6:9 through its language about not growing weary and awaiting the due time. As the song broadens from personal perseverance to prayer for a brother, friend, or anyone in need, it emphasizes intercession as well as endurance. The repeated call to continue becomes a sober encouragement to trust God and not abandon prayer. Its movement from family memory to shared responsibility also gives the message practical breadth: received faith is expressed through patient concern for others.
