When I Pray For You

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
