A Prayer Before The Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with fire Some begin with just a glance But the truest kind of blessing Comes when God designs the dance Back in eighth grade something whispered Said hold on, this is the one A quiet knowing in my spirit That a lifetime had begun [Chorus] Thank You Lord for a man who prays Who leads this family through the hardest days With faith and patience, word and grace Thank You Lord for Terry James [Verse 2] Forty-one years standing steady Hand in hand through every storm Every morning at the doorway Bowed in prayer before the dawn Telvin, Arien, Anthony, and Terry Four strong boys who know Your name Raised by a father on his knees Lord Pouring love into their frame [Chorus] Thank You Lord for a man who prays Who leads this family through the hardest days With faith and patience, word and grace Thank You Lord for Terry James [Bridge] When the world got heavy on us He never reached for doubt or fear He opened up the Word and held me And God's own voice was all I'd hear [Verse 3] You made my life worth living darling You gave me more than I could ask A friend, provider, man of glory A love that's built on faith to last Terry James when trouble found us You solved it on your knees in prayer And every single day I thank God For a heart so strong and rare [Chorus] Thank You Lord for a man who prays Who leads this family through the hardest days With faith and patience, word and grace Thank You Lord for Terry James [Outro] I saw you way back in that hallway And I'm still falling every day Thank You Lord for Terry James
