    I got tired scrolling down looking for the lyrics, so putting it here for us all instead😅
    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 momma
    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
    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
    I know you ain't always gonna need me
    But I promise that I'll always be there
    I pray you love like your momma
    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
    Oh, 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 momma
    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
    When I pray for you
    When I pray for you

    My dad passed away and all I can think of now is how I’m getting married in 8 months and he won’t be here to walk me down the isle, give me away, dance with me, or just see me. That line “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.” Has be balling. It hits me hard everytime. Esp being a mom with 3 littles. Absolutely love these two!! My wedding song is “from the ground up” and I’ll be walking down with my brothers next to me to “speechless” it wasn’t even a choice when it came to picking a “song” I instantly knew.❤️❤️

It evoked some remarkable feelings about my four kids, and now my two grandsons. I pray for them every day and I know God is there for them. What a great song! ❤️

    I’ve always loved this song ever since The Shack came out. I remember listening to it over and over as I was going through my divorce. The shack was the first movie I took myself to see alone and remember balling my eyes out and thinking to myself that forgiveness for everything was key and everything would be okay as long as I continued to pray and constantly forgive others. Amazing song and love the raw edition and new video. Thanks for singing it.

Please, don't forget to check on everyone and everything in these trying times and even when the times are good even if you don't like them very much or at all for God has his hands "REALLY FULL" trying to get a handle on all the crap that is going on right now and his angels are so busy they are getting run ragged i bet and could use some earthly help. Please, tell everyone and everything that God does love them and that even though God may not answer that doesn't mean God does not care and God needs your prayers just as much as you need God and if you all start praying directly to,in earnest, loudly,and so much all at the same time and randomly maybe your prayers will bust through the gates of heaven and to his ears.
