When I Pray for You

I talk to God about you. And I ain't even met you yet. Everybody's waitin' on you here. I can't wait to feel your heartbeat, When I lay you on my chest. I'm already holdin' back my tears. I wanna be the dad that my dad was. I hope that I don't mess this whole thing Up. I pray you love like your Mama. You forgive Just like she does. And when this life knocks you down, I hope you get down on your knees. 'Cause that's what I do, That's what I do when I pray for You. Oh, when I pray for you. I know you're gonna grow up someday. But don't forget to take your time, And take the time to call back home. It ain't always gonna be easy. It ain't always gonna be fair. I know you ain't always gonna need me. But I promise that I'll always be there. I pray you love like your mama. You forgive Just like she does. And when this life knocks you down, I hope you get down on your knees. 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you. Oh, when I pray for you. I talk to God about you. When everything around me breaks. I look up and hear Him say. "Love like your mama. And forgive just like she does." And when this life knocks you down, I hope you get down on your knees. 'Cause that's what I do, That's what I do when I pray for you. Oh, when I pray for you. When I pray for you. Mm.
