I pray for you

I was listening to CMT last week and they played a video/song that I have fallen in love with. I feel compelled to share this with you. It was written by Jaron Lowenstein and Joel Brentlinger. It is sung by Jaron Lowenstein. Read thru the whole thing and I will give you my take on it at the end of the blog.


I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were going great til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry but we must not condemn
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin high when your engine fails
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, honey, I pray for you.
I'm really glad I found my way to church
Cause I'm already feeling better and I thank God for the words
Yeah, I'm gonna take the high road and do what the preacher told me to
You keep messsin up, and I'll deep prayin' for you
I'm prayin' your tire goes out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend
and wake up with his and her tatoos
I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
and knocks you in the head likd I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine fails
I pray all your dreams near come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far
In your house or in your car
Wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I pray for you

OK, I nearly fell off the sofa laughing so hard at the video. I used the DVR to go back and forth to watch and listen several times. Then I got to thinking...each and every one of us have thought, basically, these very same thoughts. But, almost instantly, we have felt bad and just gone on. Wouldn't it be more healthy for us, if we just learned this little song and sang it in our heads? I don't know a bout you, but I am going to memorize this little ditty.
