Forty Different Reasons

Verse: 1
When the sun starts risin' I say my morning prayers
A few ask for Your blessings some for strength to hide my tears      (calm my fears)
Several are for courage so that faith will be my guide
And the last of these always ask You be here by my side

Chorus:
I have forty different reasons for prayin' to You, Lord
Most of them You have heard a thousand times or more
And I'd like to take this moment to pray just one more time 
Cause the road that I'm travelin' on is steep and hard to climb           (this)
And prayin' always brings me peace of mind                                        (gives)

Verse: 2
Before my eyes close at night I say my prayers to You 
Some ask for forgiveness and others ask what should I do                (request)
Many are about struggles that I hope will go away                            (troubles)(You'll take)(will fade)
And one is said to thank You Lord for loving me today                         (this day)

Chorus:
I have forty different reasons for prayin' to You, Lord
Most of them You have heard a thousand times or more
And I'd like to take this moment to pray just one more time 
Cause the road that I'm travelin' on is steep and hard to climb           (this)
And prayin' always brings me peace of mind                                        (gives)

Chorus:
I have forty different reasons for prayin' to You, Lord
Most of them You have heard a thousand times or more
And I'd like to take this moment to pray just one more time 
Cause the road that I'm travelin' on is steep and hard to climb           (this)
And prayin' always brings me peace of mind                                        (gives)
