But she still felt the paCin
Well 10 years they cGame and went
And dad was gDone
So she looked for love in Amother men
And tried to act strCong.
Oh brGoken hearts and Scars in only plDaces she could see

So if you're liGstening, could you gDive a helping hand

Until that night where

Well nAmext thing you know, 9 months go by

[Verse]

Everything's gonna be alright

She whispers to herself

She was only 6 years old that night

As she hid behind that shelf

Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink

D Am

And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt

But she still felt the pain

Well 10 years they came and went

And dad was gone

So she looked for love in other men

And tried to act strong.

G D

Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see

Am C

Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something

[Bridge]

And as she sat there on her bed

thinkin bout what those girls said

tears streamed from her eyes

She cried

[Chorus]

If there's a God out there

Please hear my prayer.

I'm lost and I'm scared

C G

and I've got nowhere else to go

I've come a long, long way

Am C

But I'm not sure I can make it much farther

G D

So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand

G Am C

To your daughter.

[Verse]

Well her path started to change

She reached out and grabbed God's grace

Am C

And finally, she saw a light

Until that night where

She decided one drink was alright

and one thing led to another

Well next thing you know, 9 months go by

she's a mother.

[Bridge]

And as she laid there in that bed

Stroking that small angel's head

Tears streamed from her eyes

She cried

[Chorus]

If there's a God out there

Please hear my prayer.

I'm lost and I'm scared

C G

and I've got nowhere else to run

I've come a long, long way

Am C

But I'm not sure I can be the best mother

G D

So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand

G Am C

To your daughter.

[Verse]

G D

Well that baby grew into a boy

Am C

Who became her pride and joy

He loved her like no man could

D Am

And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood

God's love.

[Bridge]

And as she laid there in that bed

99 years old

She grabbed her son's hand and said

There's something you must know...

[Chorus]

There is a God up there

Who heard my prayer

I was lost and afraid

C G

And I had nowhere else to go.

D Am

I had no clue, what to do

And then He sent me you.

So if you're lost and afraid

and you feel so alone

don't worry child

cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own

G Am C

Just like he loved his daughter.

G Am C

Like he loved His daughter.
