For Whom I Pray
by Mike Dailey
I do not know for whom I pray
I pray for those at war today
I do not know and still I’ll pray
Your children, Lord, this very day
May not find the time to kneel and pray
And so, dear, Lord, I’ll do my part
And pray for them with my whole heart
They have their minds on other things
Bursting bombs and bullet stings
How to stay alive this day
So it’s for them I kneel and pray
I know no names, nor even faces
I can’t define the time or places
But you know Lord, what they would say
So it’s for them I kneel and pray
Give them hope Lord, give them peace
May their faith in you increase
Comfort them in your own way
And it’s for them I kneel and pray
