Knelt Down and Prayed by Paul Malysa/John Christensen

We heard only whispers of years going by
With the life that shone in our eyes
Each breathe you take holds promise or fate
And the Moon slips out of site
Can rob us of seeing the light

Mornings together is where we belong
A radio tuned to our favorite song
My heart needed a rescue from the memories we knew
As the words of the doctor came clear
The ticking of time breathing fear

Lift
You are my breathe, my life and my hope
We lived the story we both wrote
Life has a road that bends in the dark
When our moments in time drift apart

Chorus
I knelt down and prayed to see what heaven can do
I knelt down prayed let it be me not you
I knelt down prayed facing the truth
Of my life, of my life without you

We held hands my knees grew weak
Our hearts were full no need to speak
My tears washed my face in a moment of grace
It’s been ten years since I knelt down and prayed

You are my breathe, my life and my hope
We lived the story we both wrote
Life has a road that bends in the dark
When our moments in time drift apart

Chorus
I knelt down and prayed to see what heaven can do
I knelt down prayed let it be me not you
I knelt down prayed facing the truth
Of my life, of my life without you
