Praying For You
John P. Kee's song 'Praying For You' honors the legacy of his grandmother, who taught him to pray from an early age. He reflects on how her faithful prayers have blessed him throughout his life, even as he acknowledges being led astray as a grown man. The song emphasizes the importance of persistent prayer, referencing Daniel's example of praying three times daily and the power of the righteous. It encourages believers to make their requests known through prayer and thanksgiving, trusting in God's faithfulness. The repeated refrain 'I'll be prayin for you' expresses intercession and care for others, rooted in the spiritual heritage passed down through generations.
Our Grandmother told us
To always pray
She instilled it in me
At my early days
So now that I'm a grown man
I was led astray
Real believers know
We ought to always pray
Make my request known
Thru prayer and thanksgiving
Highly favored, blessed to be living
I humbly bow, cause I need a touch
The prayers of the righteous
Availeth much
Sunday morning, at 10 minutes to 8
Scripture would be read
Grand momma would be gettin ready to pray
And the song she would sing, would be (Remember Me)
Grandma still prayin today
At 97 she's blessin me
Daniel prayed 3 times a day
He knowed everything that the king did say
He prayed to God, the giver of all things
He would not bow, to another king [?]
I'll be prayin, prayin for you
I'll be prayin, prayin for you
