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.
