Intro by Gene Johns

There are those who don’t believe in prayer. Of course, there are many who do. Regardless of one’s beliefs about prayer, this week’s Essie Country Real Country Music Song of the Week never had a prayer of being left out of Essie Country’s Song of the Week series.

“Thank You For Praying” by Roy Hale is real country music at its best. With a vocal performance that reminds you of the guy next door singing at a family reunion or church picnic, this song is an excellent example of what is missing from much of today’s mainstream country music—a simple melody, a realistic story, a down-home vocal, and music that allows the singer to tell the story without competing with the band.

Buried deep within Spotify’s library of country music, “Thank You For Praying” quickly became Essie Country’s next Song of the Week, leaping over several other songs that were waiting their turn. Why? Because it’s the kind of song you won’t soon forget. It will bring a smile to your face. It hooked me from the very beginning, and I’m confident it will draw you in as well.

So grab a lawn chair, sit back, and imagine you’re attending a country church social. Then settle in and enjoy “Thank You For Praying,” by clicking on the link below.
