Your'e Praying My Son's Prayer
Song about a person's own personal Gethsemane.
Southern California song writer.
Story behind the song
It was memories of 9-11 and hearing friends and patients going through so much suffering. Bad things happen to good people, but there is a greater plan.

Your'e Praying My Son's Prayer (9-18-10 revision of Why Me?)
by Doug Buche 2010
1st Verse:
Why me? Why me Lord? Why I am lying here with your
words running through my head, when I should be sleeping.
Chorus:
Why me. Why'd you choose me? I've always been on your side,
while those who weren't, got the prize, I felt I was not worth keeping.
I thought I heard you say, "You're praying my Son's prayer. Follow Him
and believe. You'll be a survivor. Follow Him and believe, and you'll live forever.
2nd Verse:
As I travel through this life, I try to stay on the
path that you want for me.
But when sorrow and pain come my way,
I get stuck in my own Gethsemane.
And then I say . . .
Chorus:
Why me? Why'd you choose me? I've always been on your side,
while those who weren't, got the prize, I felt I was not worth keeping.
I thought I heard you say, "You're praying my Son's prayer. Follow Him
and believe. You'll be a survivor. Follow Him and believe, and you'll live
forever.
