The Happy Goodmans - Somebody Prayed For Me Lyrics
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
The Happy Goodmans' 2010 release, "Somebody Prayed for Me," stands as a powerful testament to the enduring strength and efficacy of intercessory prayer, a cornerstone of Christian faith. This song delves into the profound realization that one's journey of faith and salvation is often the result of unseen hands lifting them up in prayer. The narrative powerfully captures the personal transformation from a state of being lost and adrift in a world offering fleeting comforts, to finding true peace and freedom in Christ. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life once entangled with worldly pursuits, which inevitably fade, contrasted with the lasting redemption found through surrendering to God's will. This theme resonates deeply with the biblical principle found in James 5:16, which states, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." The song emphasizes the selfless act of those who dedicated their time and energy, kneeling in supplication for another, demonstrating a tangible embodiment of Christian love and sacrifice. This selfless devotion is mirrored in numerous biblical accounts where individuals interceded for others, such as Moses' persistent prayers for the Israelites, highlighting the profound impact of consistent, faith-filled prayer. The lyrics poignantly articulate the certainty of those praying, believing that God possessed the power to deliver and transform, a conviction rooted in the assurance found in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Ultimately, "Somebody Prayed for Me" offers a deeply moving reflection on the spiritual interconnectedness that binds believers, serving as an inspiring reminder that even in moments of isolation, the silent, faithful prayers of others can pave the way for divine intervention and the ultimate assurance of salvation.
