Somebody Prayed For Me Poem by E.W. Griffith

This day, in which I breathe,
has been given to me so grac-ious-ly by... God
And I thank him be...cause
I made it to see the age twent- two.
What I said may seem like a small thing to you
but where I come from that's a great accomplishment
Sometimes, inside my church, I-sit
and say, 'Somebody must of prayed for me: '
That God would order my steps
and protect me from death.
and he did-
Tis why I sit in astonishment
Because there was a time in which
I didn't use much common sense.
Blinded by nights darkness
My soul surrendered to ignorance.
I was on my way down.
But in that mid-night hour
when I lost all power to survive
The Lord Jesus Christ came near unto my side
wrapping his arms around me, he said, 'live! '
So I did.
Then he cleansed my mind of works that were dead.
Now I'm so thankful that he did
what he did... when he did
'cause I didn't always have a mind to do
That which is right to do
Tis why I know somebody must of prayed for me;
And it probably was you.
