I brushed some pine needles off of memories today 
   C                F                   G          C  G/B 
My fingers traced a stone etched with a date and a name 
   Am             G    F                   Em 
Of simple country lady so gentle yet so strong 
    Dm7                           G 
Her mem’ry floods my heart as I recall 
    C              F                G                    C 
She didn’t have a lot but there was something that she knew 
       C                    F                 G             C  G/B 
And it meant the world when she would say son I’ll pray for you 
        Am               G           F                   Em 
And whenever she would kneel beside her little rocking chair 
      Dm7                         G 
She’d turn her simple home into a holy house of prayer 
    F                   Em 
And though she’s gone away 
         F               G       E/G#    Am  Am/G  D/F#  F  G 
There’s something that I really want to say 
C             F   C            G   C 
Thank you for praying, praying for me 
  C             F          C                   G    C 
I never could repay the time you spent down on your knees 
    F             Em 
I’m where I am today  
   F                   G       E/G#  Am  Am/G  D/F# 
Because you chose to pray and intercede

Everyone has someone in your life you can recall 
  C                     F                 G               C  G/B 
A constant source of strength for you whenever you would fall 
    Am                G        F                   Em 
And when you felt so lonely in times of desperate need 
    Dm7                                  G 
You knew that you could count on them to be down on their knees 
       F              Em 
To our heroes of the faith 
        F                  G         E/G#    Am  Am/G  D/F#  F  G

Because you chose to pray and intercede 
F                    G 
Thank you for praying 
              F 
And when that day comes and all things will be revealed 
        Am                             G 
And our Father lets us see with open eyes 
        F 
We will understand that we were carried on the wings 
       Dm7                                 G
