i heard a song last year on the radio, and i am not sure if it was an old song or not. i really would like to find the song title, so far i have had no luck with it. the song starts off talking abotu a mother and father fighting about not enough money. the little girl prays. next day the father is on his way to work and he picks up a man stranded. turns out he worked the same place, and he received a rasie because he was the only person to talk. another verse talks about a mother praying for her son at war. there are bullets flying all around and the angels are protecting him. i think the chorus was along the lines of god still answers prayer, god hears our prayers...?
does anyone have a clue?? -

Well, I'm not really sure if you are refering to this song here, but it's kind of similar to the one you mentioned. But I'm sure is not the right one tho.
Mark Schultz "Letters From War"
She walked to the mailbox
On that bright summers day
Found a letter from her son
In a war far away
He spoke of the weather
And good friends that he'd made
Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad
And the life that he had
Thats why I'm here today
And that the end he said
You are what I'm fighting for
It was the first of the letters from war
She started writing
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
make it home
make it safe
She wrote every night as she prayed
Late in December
A day she'll not forget
Oh her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read
It said "I was up on a hill
I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
And thats when I saw him
He came back for me
And though he was captured
A man set me free
And that man was your son
He asked me to write to you
I told him i would, oh I swore"
It was the last of the letters from war
And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing
And wrote every night just to say
You are good
And you're brave
what a father that you'll be someday
Make it home
Make it safe
Still she kept writing each day
Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand
He said "mom I'm following orders
From all of your letters
And I've come home again",
He ran into hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home -

The song is "God Just answered Another Prayer" By Mark Bishop. It's on his "The Song Of My Heart" CD. I couldn't find the lyrics right off. If I do I will try to post them. -

God Just Answered Another Prayer
Mark Bishop
Centergy Music/Possum Run Music BMI
Verse 1
A little girl praying at her bed one night.
"Lord help mommy and daddy not to fight."
Mom and dad are worried cause the bills are due,
They're counting every penny and trying to make it through.
Daddy drives to work on the other side of town,
He pulls over on the shoulder, somebody's broken down.
Verse 2
A man gets in the car and says, "Thank you for the ride.
Nobody else would stop, and it's freezing outside.
I'm the owner of the factory down a mile or two."
Daddy tells the man, "You know, I work there too."
Now everybody's happy cause daddy got a raise.
Ain't it funny what can happen when a little girl prays?
Chorus:
Ya know time and time again when somebody prays,
You know the Good Lord works in mysterious ways.
You may not see it coming from anywhere.
But God just answered another prayer.
Verse 3
There's a mother back home, praying for her son.
He's under heavy fire from an enemies gun.
He's a soldier at the front, completely unaware
Of the angels catching bullets in the middle of the air.
If we could only see, we'd surely be amazed
At the mountains being moved with just a little bit of faith.
Repeat Chorus
In every situation, God is in control.
Little interventions that nobody, nobody knows.
Repeat Chorus
Tag
You know God just answered another prayer.
I said God just answered another prayer.
And you can't ask too much of my God.
