I PRAYED FOR YOU TODAY

I had an idea of writing a song about praying for someone to meet Jesus, and the frustration of not being able to help, or see them interested in Jesus.

Then this song developed about a woman experiencing domestic abuse but not asking for help, and a neighbour who was desperately reaching out with no success. I didn't have anyone in mind when I wrote this, but working in a prison I am familiar with heartbreaking stories.

We pray for years for our loved ones to meet Jesus, and this song is dedicated to you, and I pray there will be a happy ending.

Though the lyrics came quickly, finding the right AI rendition was very frustrating. It took 142 Suno experiements to get it to this, but it is well worth it.

God bless and thank you Jesus.

LYRICS - I PRAYED FOR YOU TODAY - MICHAEL KUNZ

I prayed for you today

When I saw you wiping tears away

That stained your face.

And when you forced a smile

And waved at me I questioned why

God let you cry.

You were called nasty names

I heard over at your place

When I saw you at the shop

You said the yelling would stop

And I wondered at what cost?

Please let me help you

But I know you're scared

and you can't help but push me away

But I care so much

that nothing will stop my prayers

For you to meet my Jesus.

I prayed for you today

When I saw the heavy makeup on your face

To hide your pain

I looked you in the eye

And you didn't even try to deny

What was going on at your place

I came over your way

Knocked on your door to say

I can help you anytime

But you told me you're fine

And you left me outside

Please let me help you

But I know you're scared

and you can't help but push me away

But I care so much

that nothing will stop my prayers

For you to meet my Jesus.

Then the police took you away

To somewhere safe

They left as I arrived

And through the car window

you forced a smile

and I broke down and cried.

I still pray for you each day

And wonder if you'll come back again

And finally be safe

I don't know where you are

But God does and so I ask

He'll give you grace

And one day

You will find Jesus.

Please let me help you

But I know you're scared

and you can't help but push me away

But I care so much

that nothing will stop my prayers

For you to meet my Jesus.

Please let me help you

But I know you're scared

and you can't help but push me away

But I care so much

that nothing will stop my prayers

For you to meet my Jesus.
