"Cause every single day, before I knew your name/ I couldn't see your face, but I prayed for you/ Every heartbreak trail when all hope fell/ On the highway to hell, I prayed for you/ I kept my faith like that old King James/ Said I'm supposed to/ It's hard to imagine, bigger than I could fathom/ I didn't know you from Adam but I prayed for you," he sings as a reflection of a prayer he said for his future spouse.
