	Story Behind the Song I carried the general idea for the concept around for five years before finally putting the lyrics down on paper in 1979. It wasn't untill 1990 that Ronnie Winstead reinterpreted as a rocker what I had written as a much more mellow and laid back song. I programed the drum machine then laid down the bass guitar for it, both very simple but effective. The song was recorded on my Yamaha 4-track, one instrument per track with a twist. After the lead vocal was finished we noticed that it's track was idle and that's how the second guitar part came to life giving us five parts on a four track tape, which was a big deal to us at that point in time. After all this time, it is still my favorite songs to play VERY loud. Lyrics “This Is My Prayer” -Vs.1- My prayer to be like thee oh Lord it echoes in my mind, As the strings that hold my life intact seem to all unwind. And the burdens that I bear seem to grow heavier each day, I know Lord that you love me and you’ll guide me all the way. -Chorus- Oh my Lord, hear my prayer. Oh my God, heed to my call. To be like thee I long to be, this is my prayer, this is my prayer oh Lord. -Vs.2- The strength that you give to me each day none other can compare, And the love that you’ve put within my heart you told me I should share. So with these two I face the world never to be alone, For with you I do walk the road that leads to my new home. Russell J. Adams 11-24-79
