Prayers I Used To Pray

V1.
My life was running off the rails
With no steering wheel to turn
My days were filled with fear and doubt
Hard lessons I had to learn.
Instead of giving up my dreams
I gave them all to Him
And the doors that he kicks open
Lead to the places I walk in.

Chorus
Now I’m living in the world
Of the prayers I used to pray
By faith I walk the winding road
That leads me where I am today
Taking wishes from my heart
To the father every day
Now I’m living in the world 
Of the prayers I used to pray

V2.
I’ve prayed for health and His protection
For direction in my life
For hope when I’m in darkness
To help me step into the light
I’ve prayed for guidance and for wisdom
I’ve prayed for foes and I’ve prayed for friends
I know the love of the Lord above
An His boundaries have no ends.

Chorus
Now I’m living in the world
Of the prayers I used to pray
By faith I walk the winding road
That leads me where I am today
Taking wishes from my heart
To the father every day
Now I’m living in the world 
Of the prayers I used to pray

Bridge
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
I always have believed in God
But now I know He believes in me.

Chorus
Now I’m living in the world
Of the prayers I used to pray
By faith I walked the winding road
That leads me where I am today
Taking wishes from my heart
To the father every day
Now I’m living in the world 
Of the prayers I used to pray

Outtro
Now I’m living in the world
Of the prayers I used to pray

Prayers I Used To Pray (2025) (Cover)

“Father, The Older I Get” – A folk-rock tribute to the man who shaped me
This song is a heartfelt reflection on growing older and finally understanding the quiet strength, sacrifice, and love a father carries. Blending warm folk storytelling with soft rock emotion, it honors the lessons, burdens, and legacy passed down through the years. A gentle, intimate tribute to a father’s influence — and the moment you realize you’ve become part of his story too.
