Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With No Place To Call My Home
But There?s One Who Holds My Hand
On The Rugged Road Through Barren Lands
The Way Is Dark, The Road Is Steep
But He?s Become My Eyes To See
Strength To Climb, My Grief To Bear
The Savior Lives Inside Me There
In Your Love I Find Release
A Haven From My Unbelief
Take My Life And Let Me Be
A Living Prayer, My God To Thee
Through These Trials Of Life I Find
Another Voice Inside My Mind
It Comforts Me And Bids Me Live
Inside The Love The Father Gives
In Your Love I Find Release
A Haven From My Unbelief
Take My Life And Let Me Be
A Living Prayer, My God To Thee
Take My Life And Let Me Be
A Living Prayer, My God To Thee
The lyrics of Alison Krauss's song "A Living Prayer" describe the singer's feeling of isolation and spiritual journey, all the while finding comfort and guidance from a higher power. The song's opening lines set the mood as the singer expresses the feeling of being alone in the world without a place of their own. However, as the song continues, they reveal that they are not truly alone as they have someone who guides them through the difficulties of life. They describe the road as dark and steep, but with the help of their guide, they are able to see the way and find strength to carry on. This guide is none other than the savior who lives within the singer, helping them to bear grief and find comfort.
As the song progresses, the singer finds solace in their faith and describes it as "a haven from my unbelief." They ask for their life to be taken and transformed into a "living prayer" to God, signifying that every moment of their life is dedicated to their faith. The song ends with a repetition of this prayerful plea, emphasizing the earnestness of the singer's desire to live a life devoted to their spiritual journey.
Overall, "A Living Prayer" is a poignant statement about the power of faith to guide and comfort us through the trials of life. The song's lyrics are deeply personal, and by emphasizing the singer's feelings of loneliness and difficulty, they show that even in the toughest situations, we can find hope in our spiritual beliefs.
