When I Pray For You

When I Pray For You Lyrics

I talk to God about you 
And even haven't met you yet 
Everybody is waiting on you here 
I can't wait to feel Your heartbeat 
When I lay You on my chest 
Am already holding back my tears 
I wonna be the dad that my dad was 
I hope that I won't mess all this thing up  .

I pray that you love like your daddy 
And you forgive just like he does 
'Cause when this life knocks you down 
I hope you get down on your knees 
'Cause that is what I do, that is what I do 
When I pray for you  .

I know you gonna grow up someday 
But don't forget to take your time 
To take a time to come back home  .

It ain't always gonna be easy 
It ain't always gonna be fair 
I know you ain't always gonna need me 
I promise I will always be there  .

I pray that you love like your daddy 
And you forgive just like he does 
'Cause when this life knocks you down 
I hope you get down on your knees 
'Cause that is what I do, that is what I do 
When I pray for you  .

I talk to God about You 
When everything around me breaks 
I look up and hear him say  .

Love like your mama 
Forgive just like she does 
'Cause when this life knocks you down 
I hope you get down on your knees 
'Cause that is what I do, that is what I do 
When I pray for you 
When I pray for you 
When I pray for you  .
