  • LYRICS:
    I talk to God about you
    And I ain't even met you yet
    Everybody's waitin' on you here
    I can't wait to feel your heart beat
    When I lay you on my chest
    I'm already holding back my tears
    I wanna be the dad that my dad was
    I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up
    I pray you love like your mama
    And you forgive just like she does
    'Cause when this life knocks you down
    I hope you get down on your knees
    'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
    When I pray for you
    I know you're gonna grow up some day
    But don't forget to take your time
    And take the time to call 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
    But I promise that I'll always be there
    I pray you love like your mama
    And you forgive just like she does
    'Cause when this life knocks you down
    I hope you get down on your knees
    'Cause that's what I do, that's 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
    And forgive just like she does
    And when this life knocks you down
    I hope you get down on your knees
    'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
    When I pray for you

    Shay's vocal control has improved to the point that he sounds better live than the record. These guys just get better and better.

      I agree. He has amazing vocal control. Unless you are a singer (I am), people don't amazing the subtle little things he does with his voice that take incredible control. He has full mastery of his voice.

    The first time I heard this song, the water from my eyes kept pouring. I could not stop it. It's a different kind of crying, because my eyes aren't hurt, the water just are like water falls, just keeps falling...I don't even know why. But thank God you've written such a beautiful song.

    Oh, when I pray for you
    I know you're gonna grow up some day
    But don't forget to take your time
    And take the time to call back home
    It ain't always gonna be easy
    It ain't always gonna be fair

    When I pray for you

    God is speaking to me through them. I’m gonna pray for my future child. Maybe I’ll never have one but one can dream. God, thank you for these two men. Their lyrics speak from your heart.
