Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I am truly afraid
Of not ever having fully lived
Saying this sitting at my piano
Just whinging about my life
Then I had a visitation of the heavenly kind
There is someone praying for you
I was there was in the room
He was rocking on His knees
His face was torn crying please Father please
Im your angel I heard Him crying out your name
I said Lord I gave You everything
Yet Im afraid You won't use me (You won't use me)
Like all I hoped in You I could be used (Haoo ooo)
Then I realized it will be alright (Alright)
Cause He's interceding for me tonight
My angel said don't you fear (Don't you fear)
You won't be left out
Oh then he said out loud
There is someone praying for you
I was there was in the room
Im your angel I heard Him crying out your name (Your name)
He was rocking on His knees (On His knees)
His face was torn crying please Father please
Im your angel I heard Him crying out your name
(Do you wanna know)
So what was He saying
So what was He praying (Do you wanna know)
He was crying heal him father tonight
Touch his soul with light
Soothe his troubled mind
Set his heart on fire
There is someone praying for you
He's right there child He's right in your room
Im your angel I hear Him crying out your name (Angel crying out your name)
He is rocking on His knees (Aaaah)
His face wet with tears crying please Father please (Please father please)
Im your angel
In the lyrics of Dale J. Evans's song "Praying," the singer expresses a deep fear of not fully experiencing life rather than a fear of death itself. While sitting at the piano and lamenting about their life, the singer has a heavenly visitation from an angel. The angel tells the singer that someone is praying for them, emphasizing the power and comfort of intercessory prayer. The angel expresses deep emotion and urgency as they cry out to the Father on behalf of the singer, asking for healing, light for the soul, peace for the mind, and passion for the heart.
The singer reflects on their own feelings of inadequacy despite giving everything to the Lord, questioning whether they will be used as hoped. However, the realization dawns that the angel's intercession provides reassurance that everything will be alright. The angel reassures the singer not to fear being left out, as there is a divine presence watching over and praying for them. This message of divine intervention and care serves to alleviate the singer's worries and bring a sense of peace and comfort during challenging times.
The descriptive imagery in the lyrics amplifies the intensity of the angel's prayers and the emotional state of the singer. The angel is depicted as rocking on their knees, with a tear-streaked face, pleading with the Father for the singer's well-being. The repetition of the phrase "I'm your angel" underscores the angel's role as a protector and messenger of hope, delivering the prayers and support needed in times of distress. The singer is urged to trust in the unseen prayers being offered on their behalf and to find solace in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles.
Overall, the song "Praying" conveys a powerful message of divine intervention, intercessory prayer, and the presence of unseen forces working for the singer's good. The lyrics emphasize the importance of faith, trust, and resilience in the face of challenges, as well as the transformative power of prayer in bringing healing, comfort, and guidance. The imagery of the angel's cries and supplications, coupled with the singer's introspective reflections, creates a poignant narrative that invites listeners to find strength and hope in the midst of adversity.
