When Daddy Prayed_The Song Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

Verse one:
One day I came upon my Dad, as he knelt down to pray;
I know I should have left him, but something made me stay.
Then as I strained to listen, I heard the sweetest words;
Oh, how I felt God's presence, that day as Daddy prayed.


Chorus:
When Daddy prayed…
The heavens listened.
When Daddy prayed, the angels heard.
His prayer was plain and simple, his prayer blessed me that day;
Only heaven knows, how I was touched, that day when Daddy prayed.


Verse two:
His words were of thanksgiving, for blessings along the way;
He asked for strength and wisdom, so humbly, Dad did pray.
I can't explain what happened, as I heard Daddy's words;
But I've been changed forever, since I heard Daddy pray.

Chorus:
When Daddy prayed…
The heavens listened.
When Daddy prayed, the angels heard.
His prayer was plain and simple, his prayer blessed me that day;
Only heaven knows, how I was touched, that day when Daddy prayed.

Turn around…

Repeat chorus:
When Daddy prayed…
The heavens listened.
When Daddy prayed, the angels heard.
His prayer was plain and simple, his prayer blessed me that day;
Only heaven knows, how I was touched, that day when Daddy prayed.
Only heaven knows, how I was touched, that day when Daddy prayed.
