Pray for Me
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father's great design
Through' time you've been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye
But I know the road He chose for me
Is not the road he chose for you So as we chase the dreams we're after
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again
Painted on our tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving through' the laughter and the tears
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that through' it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But there's a greater love that holds us
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again

Line by Line Meaning
Here is where the road divides
This is the point where our paths separate
Here is where we realize
We come to understand what this moment means
The sculpting of the Father's great design
God has a plan that is being realized
Through' time you've been a friend to me
You've been a good friend to me for a long time
But time is now the enemy
Time is now working against us
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye
I don't want to say goodbye
But I know the road He chose for me
I know God has chosen a different path for me
Is not the road he chose for you
That path is not the one for you
So as we chase the dreams we're after
As we pursue our own goals and desires
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Let's support each other through prayer
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Let's pray that we maintain our friendship despite our differences
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
Let's both commit to praying for each other
And one day love will bring us back around again
Hopefully our friendship can be rekindled in the future
Painted on our tapestry
Our lives are like a beautiful work of art
We see the way it has to be
We understand that things have to change
Weaving through' the laughter and the tears
We experience both happiness and sadness along the way
But love will be the tie that binds us
Our friendship will be held together by love
To the time we leave behind us
Even when we're apart, we'll remember the good times
Memories will be our souvenirs
Our memories will remind us of our friendship
And I know that through' it all
Despite the challenges, I know that
The hardest part of love is letting go
Saying goodbye is the most difficult part of any relationship
But there's a greater love that holds us
Our love for God and each other will keep us connected
