I Said a Prayer for You Today I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard, I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke not a word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked for priceless treasures rare Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings fair And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But that you'd know His loving care I prayed for most of all. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
