The artist was Willie Nelson. My Mum used to have the tape. I Love This Song!!!

Somebody Prayed For Me

Verse:
It was raining in my troubled heart, pushing through my weeping eyes
I had thoughts of weak surrender, with no courage left to try
When across the miles and distance, someone felt my pain and grief
Love reached down to bear my heavy burden, somebody prayed for me

Chorus:
Somebody prayed for me in my moment of deep despair
When my needs were great, they seemed to make all Heaven aware
Someone loved me so, they took me to the Throne of Grace
Somebody called my name in a quiet and secret place

Verse:
I was sinking in my solitude, drowning in my tears
Bitter from the pain I bore, tortured by my fears
Joy had been a long time comin' and sorrow wouldn't let me be
The world was closing in, but the Heavens opened and somebody prayed for me

Chorus:

Tag:
Somebody called my name in a quiet and secret place
Joy had been a long time comin' and sorrow wouldn't let me be
The world was closing in I saw the Heavens open, and somebody prayed for me
Somebody prayed for me!
