Verse 1:
I awoke early on a cold March morning.
My mother stood there with tears in her eyes
I knew the day would bring only mourning
And pain, that's all that would lie ahead.
She looked to me broken
And said slowly, "He's passed away."
I was only left unspoken.
Darkness shadowed that day
Chorus:
But I'm gonna keep on praying
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on praying
Next to my bed kneeling
Waiting for some healing
Until the day I stop dealing
I'm gonna keep on praying.
Verse 2:
Cold swept across my face
As I entered the church door
Red roses displayed in a vase
He couldn't have asked for more
I walked down the aisle
And faced the casket of my grandad
Tears fell as I tried to smile
I know he wouldn't want me sad
Chorus:
So I'm gonna keep on praying
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on praying
Next to my bed kneeling
Waiting for some healing
Until the day I stop dealing
I'm gonna keep on praying.
Verse 3:
All I could do was cry
As his body was lowered
His soul would never die
It still hurts to know
That I could never say bye
Chorus:
But I'm gonna keep on praying
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on praying
Next to my bed kneeling
Waiting for some healing
Until the day I stop dealing
I'm gonna keep on praying.
I'm gonna keep on praying
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on praying
Until in my bed I lay dying
I'm gonna keep praying
Knowing He will bring healing
And end the dealing of pain
I'm gonna keep praying
I awoke early on a cold March morning.

Chorus:
But I'm gonna keep on praying
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on praying

Waiting for some healing
