What's it like now that you're safe at home?
And do you watch over us here below?
Lifted to the light, wish we'd had more time
Gone away, but I still keep you close
So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind
Oh, oh
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach to Heaven when I say my prayers
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I say my prayers
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Bittersweet, beautiful mystery
To think of you there in eternity
Free and so alive by the Father's side
In paradise, saving a place for me
My love letters to the sky
I ask about you all the time
Oh, oh
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach to Heaven when I say my prayers
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I say my prayers (When I say my prayers)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind
When I say my prayers!
And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach to Heaven when I say my prayers
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I say my prayers
Ooh-ooh-ooh
When I say my prayers
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah, you've just been on my mind!)
When I say my prayers
Ooh-ooh-ooh (So I'm on my knees tonight!)
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
