Makes Me Wanna Pray Lyrics

He-hey he-hey ohh
Oh yeah
Well alright
He-hey

What is this feeling coming over me?
I'm taken back in disbelief
Is this really me, ha! in the mirror I see?
Staring back at me:
Could it be? A new reflection of a woman complete

All of a sudden I'm so care-free (well alright)
'cause love is doing something strange to me (well alright)
Got a new flame, ha! haven't been the same
Something in me's changed, rearranged
And I feel that I've been saved

You got me feeling like you're that something I've been missing
Everything's heaven 'cause life with you has been a blessing

Chorus
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
I got it bad in a serious way, oh yeah
(Oh-oh oh-oh)
Your love has brought me to a higher place, oh yeah
(Who knew? Who knew?)
It'd be you to restore my faith
Everyday, I'm amazed
And it makes me wanna get down and pray
Makes me wanna get down and pray
Said it makes me wanna get down and pray
Yeah-hey

I've kept some company I shouldn't have (well alright)
Made some mistakes but that's in the past (well alright)
I'm professing here to you
Proof that I am through

I'm coming clean
Now I can breathe
and I finally believe, yeah

You got me thinking I'll be alright, and you're the reason
Ooh I can feel it, we're moving in a new direction

Chorus

Ohh
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you by my side
Where would I be? Where would I be?
Without you standing by

Makes me wanna (pray)
Makes me need to (pray)
When I'm feeling low and all alone,
You're the light in my day, yeah

Chorus

Woo, thank you father!

Wanna lift my hands up and pray
'cause everytime I'm hearing your name
Wanna reach out and rejoice
Sound of your voice, yeah

Hey yeah
Alright
That's it

Great song, I love the vocal arrangements, anyways.. I think that Christina is trying to say that she lost her faith but just to see what a great man she found makes her want to pray...maybe thanking God for such a good guy....

i think its cool how a long time ago she said:

Who is that girl I see 
 Staring strait back at me?
 When will my reflection show who I am 
 Inside?

Now she says:

Is this really me, ha! in the mirror I see?
Staring back at me:
Could it be? A new reflection of a woman complete

It makes you feel so happy for her! her new CD is amazing, Im so glad she found love for herself, it sounds like it has really pulled her out of her rut. This genre of music is perfect for her.

I really like this song, and the funky gospel-ish feel it has got to it, makes it very catchy! As for the meaning, I don't think it is about Christina having lost her faith. The line "Who knew? Who knew? It'd be you to restore my faith..." I think rather indicates that she has regained her faith. To be honest, I don't know much about Christina's personal beliefs. However, while this song might be using religious images to illustrate the love she feels for the man in her life, I think it has a double meaning: Her boyfriend/husband (I don't know) has made her more secure of the fact that there is a greater good, and God has given her the chance to meet this man and let them fall in love. So, my interpretation is that it's both a lovesong to God and her boyfriend.
