365 prayers

Every mornin’ for a whole year

Woke up fightin’ doubt and fear

Coffee cold, Bible open wide

Beggin’ God, “Stay by my side”

Three hundred sixty-five broken pleas

Down on both hands and both knees

Didn’t trust myself to stand

So I put my life in His hands

One day sober, then one more

Knockin’ on mercy’s door

I prayed every day just to make it through

Didn’t have the strength — so I leaned on You

For my family, for their faith in me

For the way I was called to be

Now eight years later I can say

It wasn’t willpower that paved the way

It was God’s grace that set me free

That’s my testimony

Temptation whispered, “Just one more round”

But I’d hear a louder, sweeter sound

Sayin’, “Child, remember who you are

You’ve come too far, you’ve come too far”

Little hands and trustin’ eyes

Were worth more than any disguise

So I kept kneelin’, kept believin’

Even when my hands were shakin’

One prayer at a time, one step of faith

That’s how freedom’s made

I prayed every day just to make it through

Didn’t have the strength — so I leaned on You

For my family, for their faith in me

For the home I didn’t wanna lose

Now eight years later I can see

You were carryin’ all of me

It was God’s grace that made it happen

And rewrote my story

It wasn’t pride, it wasn’t me

It was mercy over misery

Every sunrise, every tear

You were faithful all those years

I prayed every day for a solid year

Now eight years strong and still right here

For my family, I stand redeemed

More than I ever dreamed

And if you ask how I survived

How I made it out alive

It was God — and God alone

Who brought me home

Three hundred sixty-five prayers that year…

Eight years later — still standin’ here.
