Lyrics
Somebody prayed for me,
They had me on their mind.
They sacrificed their time.
They feel down on their
Knee's and prayed for me.
They had no doubt,
Thatgod would bring me out.
That he could change my
Life and set me free.
I'm so glad that someone prayed for me.
I was lost and alone in a cold dark world
No peace of mine, no
Freedom could i see.
But little did i know
I had a friend somewhere.
Someone i didn't know
Saw some good in me.
Somebody prayed for me,
They had me on their mind.
They sacrificed their time.
They feel down on their
Knee's and prayed for me.
They had no doubt, that
God would bring me out.
That he could change my
Life and set me free.
I'm so glad that someone prayed for me.
I trusted in the things
That the world could give.
Not knowing soon they
Would all pass away.
But because someone cared
Enough to pray for me.
I trusted god and now i'm saved today.
Somebody prayed for me,
They had me on their mind.
They sacrificed their time.
They feel down on their
Knee's and prayed for me.
They had no doubt, that
God would bring me out.
That he could change my
Life and set me free.
I'm so glad that someone prayed for me.
Somebody prayed for me,
They had me on their mind.
They sacrificed their time.
They feel down on their
Knee's and prayed for me.
They had no doubt, that
God would bring me out.
That he could change my
Life and set me free.
I'm so glad that someone prayed for me.
I'm so glad that someone prayed for me.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Somebody Prayed for Me” tells a testimony of change shaped by another person’s faithful intercession. The singer remembers being lost, isolated, and dependent on things that could not last. Against that darkness, an unnamed friend gives time to prayer and trusts God to bring freedom. The recurring chorus makes gratitude its central response, while the verses move from confusion and captivity toward faith and salvation.
The song’s focus may call to mind James 5:16, which describes the effectiveness of a righteous person’s prayer. It also aligns with the biblical practice of praying for others, expressed in 1 Timothy 2:1, and with the deliverance language of Colossians 1:13-14. Its testimony does not credit human effort as the source of rescue; the praying friend intercedes, but God is the one described as changing the life and setting the singer free.
