I sat by a bedside day after day
For a sick loved one there I did pray
Did God ever hear the words I did say
It broke my heart when He took my darling away
The pain of the loss was so hard to bear
I thought in my heart does God really care
Life to me did not seem so fair
I asked my God are you listening there
Chorus
Do my prayers mean nothing to God
When a loved one is carried to the sod
When all my hopes are down trod
Do my prayers mean nothing to God
Alone in life with a kitten for a pet
For me more heartbreak was to come yet
When it died on the way to the vet
My world fell apart as my life was upset
Here again flows the bitter tears
Like so many shed down through the years
The pain in my heart cruelly sears
I wonder if God my prayers really hears
Chorus
Do my prayers mean nothing to God
When a loved one is carried to the sod
When all my hopes are down trod
Do my prayers mean nothing to God
But I know in my heart He does care
The sorrow of my life He will share
On a cross He watched His Son dying there
So all of my burdens and heartbreak He could bare
He whispers to me you cant understand
But all of life I hold in my hand
It will stay or go when I command
Just trust I know best is all I demand
Chorus
Yes my prayers mean everything to God
For all life will be carried to the sod
This way He has already trod
Yes my prayers mean everything to God
