As we sang these words by Claire Cloninger, I was strongly aware that this was more than a 'performance rehearsal' - it was a 'personal experience reminder' of the grace of God available to us - to me, even recently!
The song made my experience come alive, and made my heart sing praise and thanks to God for the bereavement encouragement of Major Warren Elliott (CO, Waverley Temple Corps) who shared with me the poignant reminder that, during times of difficulty, 'Christians are privileged to share the journey together, and in doing so, prove the worth of Church.'
I pray these same words bring personal blessing to you in your journey!
SOMEBODY PRAYED FOR ME
When my heart was so broken that I could not pray
When love wasn't easy to see
Someone was there, somebody cared,
Somebody prayed for me
Somebody went to the throne of Heaven
Somebody lifted my name
Bringing me into His holy presence
Saying what I could not say
Somebody showed me the face of his mercy
When darkness was all I could see
Somebody pleaded the blood of Jesus
Somebody prayed for me
When the future looked hopeless and I'd given up
When I had lost sight of my dreams
Somebody near dried every tear
Somebody prayed for me
