Singing a Prayer
From joining the Grand Ole Opry at just 21 years old, to winning 21 Grammy awards (more than any other female artist), to her work on the best-selling soundtrack for the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Alison Krauss has transformed bluegrass music into a fan favorite.
But some of her most powerful songs are the simplest, like this one: A Living Prayer.
In this world I walk alone
With no place to call my home
But there’s one who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He’s become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
The Savior lives inside me there
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let it be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
In these trials of life I find
Another voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let it be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
Take my life and let it be
A living prayer, my God to Thee

Alison Krauss has one of the most beautiful voices!!! This one is inspirational!!! Thank-you for sharing. Oh yes, I have Worship channel on now, no better way to start the day Praising God our Father and seeing his beautiful creation.
HOW DO I BUY THIS CD????????? THEY IS NO WAY TO GET IT ON YOUR WEB SITE!!! I HAVE TRYED TO CONTACT YOU AND LOOKED MANY TIMES TO TRY TO GET IT. THANKS, ANNA DUCKER
What a beautiful poem. But the name of Jesus the Savior is missing from that song. Every Gospel musician and preacher must watch Christiano’s film “The Time Changer”.
Anna, this is from the CD “Lonely Runs Both Ways.” You can buy it on Amazon.com.
I live in Nashville, Tennessee and I am finding that more and more country artists are including religion in their ablums.
Alison has the voice of an angel. If you ever get a chance listen to the Cox Family with Alison Kraus. It is truly a very moving set of songs about how how Jesus affects lives.
Alison’s music helped me through a rough time when my beautiful 18 year old son Daniel died much too young. But I know he’s waiting for me in heaven and I yearn to be with him again.
God bless
