Lyrics
She was a teen that used to go to church with mom and dad
Describes a teenage girl who used to attend church with her parents.
But mom and dad Had a marriage that was really bad
Her parents' marriage was troubled and unhappy.
And what's so sad it that her parents used to be so glad
Reflects on the sadness of the parents who were once happy.
The years had past the dad had packed a bag and ran with that
The father left abruptly, abandoning the family.
He left their mother, the sister, the brother
He deserted the mother, sister, and brother.
The marriage went under, he found pleasure in other things
The marriage collapsed due to the father finding pleasure in other things.
The liquor bottle was a model that would make him sing
The father turned to alcohol, which became a source of solace.
A drunken mindset is a trap that people struggle to see
Highlights the trap of a drunken mindset that people struggle to recognize.
Divorce had followed, mom and her father would no longer be
Resulted in the divorce between the parents.
The judge had settled that there would be joint custody
Judge's decision for joint custody of the children.
The teen girl would cry at night
The teenage girl expresses her distress by crying at night.
Wonderin' why her mom and dad didn't fight for this
Questions why her parents didn’t fight for their relationship.
Two kids, her parents still split, it's almost like the devil got exactly what he wanted to get
Suggests that the situation aligns with what the devil might desire.
That night, she had a prayer list
The girl creates a prayer list.
She asked for intercession and it sounded like this
Her prayer is a plea for divine intervention.
I pray You'd intercede
Reiteration and elaboration of the prayer for intercession due to pain and resistance.
I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
-My resistance was in vain
-It led to so much pain
-Now I'm callin' on Your name
-I pray You'd intercede
-I'm cryin out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin from You now I've fallen to my knees
-My resistance was in vain
-It led to so much pain
-Now I'm callin' on Your name Lord, yuh
-She's 43 years old

11 years of ministry have been thrown
-In the trash, and just like that
-20 years of marriage gone that wont come back
-She's driving lookin at herself in the rear-view
-The mascara that he bought her starts to let all the tears through
-Just like the foundation that was on her face
-The foundation they had in Jesus was washed away
-She asked herself, How on earth did we grow apart?
-They'd been together for so long, High school sweethearts
-He became a drunk, violent so resistant
-How'd they get divorced, they were supposed to be Christian
-But suddenly wait a minute
-Hold up a man she started thinkin
-She realized that the consequences resulting from their decisions
-Would affect the kids, would affect their minds, that infectious sin, would infect their lives
-Could lead them in, to the same demise
-They used to walk in truth but now they're livin' lies
-She remembered somethin bout divorced couples gettin' back together

Sometimes the worst weather can be what shows all the hidden treasure

-I pray You'd intercede
-I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees

-It led to so much pain
-Now I'm callin' on Your name
-I pray You'd intercede
-I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees

-He was a father and a husband
Narrates the story of a father who faces despair, his daughter's accident, and how prayer leads to the daughter's healing and the remarriage of the parents.
Now he sits alone feelin like nothin
-Teardrops formed and run from his eyes
-Like the water droplets runnin' down his beer bottle side
-He got a phone call that he never expected
-It was his ex-wife, so the call he rejected
-She kept on callin' him but he wouldn't accepted it
-So she sent bad news, on a txt message
-His heart was ripped up, it nearly made him spit up
-He sprinted out and drove to the hospital in his pick-up
-When he showed up his daughter was layin' in a hospital bed
-The doctor said a drunk driver hit her she probably wont make it
-Lets fast forward, about 3 months later
-The father in this story got right our Creator
-He went right to the Savior, and asked Him for His favor
-His daughter got healed an answer to his prayers
-He re-proposed, and got remarried to ex-wife
-A mother and a daughters prayers God heard 'em those nights
-The wife looked at her husband and asked what changed in him
The husband reveals to his wife that prayer caused a transformation in him, leading to their reunion.
He said he prayed to God somethin like this
-I pray You'd intercede
-I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
-My resistance was in vain
-It led to so much pain
-Now I'm callin' on Your name
-I pray You'd intercede
-I'm cryin' out to you right now Lord God Your help I need
-I'm tired of runnin' from You now I've fallen to my knees
-My resistance was in vain
-It led to so much pain
-Now I'm callin' on Your name Lord, yuh
