"When I Say My Prayers" lyrics

What's it like, now that you're safe at home?
Do you watch over us here below?
Lifted to the light
Wish we'd had more time
Gone away, but I still keep you close

So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind

And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers

When I say my prayers

Bittersweet, beautiful mystery
To think of you, there in eternity
Free and so alive
By the Father's side
In paradise, saving a place for me

My love letters to the sky
I ask about you all the time

And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers

When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers

So I'm on my knees tonight
'Cause you've just been on my mind
When I say my prayers

And I see you in the arms of Jesus when I close my eyes
'Cause you were His before I ever got to call you mine
One day I know I'm gonna hold you when I meet you there
Till then my heart can reach through Heaven when I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
(Yeah, you've just been on my mind)
When I say my prayers
(So I'm on my knees tonight)
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
