I said a prayer for you today
and know God must have heard;
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke not a word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind;
I asked for priceless treasures rare
Of a more lasting kind.
I prayed that He'd be near to you
Now that you've gone away;
To grant you all of His blessings
And His light to show your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small;
But that you'd know His loving care
I prayed for most of all.
