Story Behind The Song
Lisa's son Jordan was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was six. Hearing that song by Amy Grant gave me hope and renewal in the power of prayer. My boy is a healthy teenager now playing football, his dream while in that hospital bed watching the Carolina Panthers play. My version of this beautiful song I hope can offer the same for anyone going through a most difficult time. God Bless!

Lyrics
But You gave me time
When no one gave me, time of day
You looked deep inside
While the rest of the world looked away
You smiled at me
When there weren't just friends everywhere
You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
That's why I call You Savior
That's why I call You friend
'Cause You touched my heart
And You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
And that's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
And You gave me laughter
After I'd cried all my tears
You heard my dreams
While the rest of the world just closed its ears
I looked in Your eyes
And I found such tenderness there
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
And that's why I call you Savior
That's why I call You friend
'Cause You touched my heart
And You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
And that's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
Yes, He gives us love
When nobody gives us a prayer
