On his way to make a stand* A little boy becomes a man Another soldier calling home Just to hear a mother’s voice
In a world made out of sand He holds the phone tight in his hand And waits to hear the only words That can cut right through the noise
I’m gonna pray for you I ‘m gonna pray for you Until you’re in my arms I’m gonna pray for you I’m gonna wait for you Until you’re safe from harm I’m gonna pray for you
In an alley dark and cold There’s a young girl no one holds And it’s been a long long time Since she’s felt anything
There's a father on his knees Saying someone help her please Find my little girl who's lost As he hears the church bell ring
I’m gonna pray for you I ‘m gonna pray for you Until you’re in my arms I’m gonna pray for you I’m gonna wait for you Until you’re safe from harm I’m gonna pray for you
In an alley dark and cold There’s a Savior no one holds And it’s been a long long time…
I’m gonna pray for you I’m gonna pray for you Until you’re in my Father’s arms I’m gonna pray for you I’m gonna wait for you Yes I will wait Until you’re safe Until your faith can lead you home I'm gonna pray
