Five Lives Raised on Prayer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning down a gravel road A kitchen window glowing warm against the cold Some men chase their fortune, some men lose their way I found mine in a girl who knelt to pray Cindy, you held on when I let go And turned a little house into a home [Chorus] You loved me when I didn't earn it Forgave me more than words can say Your faith in God kept the lamp burning Lord, I'm grateful every day For the woman who never walked away [Verse 2] Five little babies and a hundred muddy shoes Fevers after midnight and the Sunday morning blues You rocked them through the nights I wasn't there And sang them back to sleep with a prayer Now they're grown and standing tall and true Every good thing in them came from you [Chorus] You loved me when I didn't earn it Forgave me more than words can say Your faith in God kept the lamp burning Lord, I'm grateful every day For the woman who never walked away [Bridge] I was a hard road, I was a heavy load You carried me anyway Cindy, you showed me grace is real Through every single yesterday [Verse 3] I can't take back the years I let slip by But I can hold your hand and look you in the eye Another anniversary, another year I thank the Lord above that you're still here [Chorus] You loved me when I didn't earn it Forgave me more than words can say Your faith in God kept the lamp burning Lord, I'm grateful every day For the woman who never walked away [Outro] Five grown children and a love that's true Cindy, I'm still falling, still falling for you
