Praying For You

John P Kee traces a habit of prayer back three generations in "Praying For You" — "our grandmother told us to always pray, she instilled it in me at my early days... Sunday morning, at 10 minutes to 8, scripture would be read, grandmomma would be gettin ready to pray." The specific time and detail keep the memory concrete rather than sentimental in the abstract.

"So now that I'm a grown man, I was led astray, real believers know we ought to always pray" admits his own lapse honestly before returning to the lesson he was taught. "The prayers of the righteous availeth much" quotes James directly as the actual reason the inherited habit matters.

"Daniel prayed 3 times a day... he would not bow to another king" closes the song by pairing his grandmother's daily prayer with Daniel's, treating both as the same basic act of loyalty repeated across very different circumstances, before the song settles into its simple, repeated promise: "I'll be prayin, prayin for you."
