Somebody Prayed for Me
© 1997 by Ernest DeWaters Jr. Music (ASCAP)
Author: Ernest DeWaters & Don Bender



(Verse 1)
When dark clouds come rollin’ in and it begins to rain,
My soul is discouraged and my body is in pain.
But when the sun comes shinin’ through, and your face I see,
That’s when I know, dear Lord that somebody prayed for me. Hallelujah!

(Chorus)
Somebody prayed for me, somebody prayed for me.
I felt Your Spirit move. I know my soul is free.
From the darkest night to the brightest light,
Someone got on their knee. Somebody prayed for me.

(Guitar Solos)

(Verse 2)
When my head is hangin’ low and my heart is in despair
Satan comes a whisperin’, “There ain’t no one to care.”
But when I lift up my eyes, and Your face I see,
That’s when I know, dear Lord, that somebody prayed for me. Hallelujah!

(Chorus x2)

(Tag)
From the darkest night to the brightest light,
Someone got on their knee. Somebody prayed for me.
Someone got on their knee. Somebody prayed for me.
Oh, yeah!
