Lyrics

There were nights I couldn't close my eyes
Too many questions, too many whys
Sat on the floor with my back to the wall
Didn't have the strength to speak at all
I saw that Bible beside my bed
But I couldn't find a word to be said
I thought You needed something from me
When all I had was misery
I thought a prayer needed beautiful words
Something holy enough to be heard
But when my voice had disappeared
You were closer than I feared
You heard the prayers I never prayed
Saw every tear I hid away
When I had nothing left to say
You loved me through my darkest days
I never called, but You still came
You held my heart through all the pain
And when I thought I'd lost my way
You heard the prayers I never prayed
There were mornings I could barely rise
Put on a smile and told everyone lies
Said I was fine, said I was strong
When everything inside felt wrong
I drove past the church on a Sunday morn
Feeling too far gone to walk through the door
But looking back at where I've been
I know You never turned from me
I thought I had to earn Your grace
Before I dared to seek Your face
But all the nights I felt alone
You never once let go
You heard the prayers I never prayed
Saw every tear I hid away
When I had nothing left to say
You loved me through my darkest days
I never called, but You still came
You held my heart through all the pain
And when I thought I'd lost my way
You heard the prayers I never prayed
Every silence, every sigh
Every question asking why
Every moment I fell apart
You could hear my breaking heart
I didn't have to get it right
Didn't have to win the fight
Even when I couldn't speak
Your love was reaching out for me
You heard the prayers I never prayed
Saw every tear I hid away
When I had nothing left to say
You loved me through my darkest days
Now I don't need a perfect line
To tell You what's inside this heart of mine
And when the words all fade away
You'll hear the prayers I cannot pray
