Did You Think to Pray is an album of gospel songs by country music artist Charley Pride. The song from which this album takes its name was originally released in 1971 on the RCA Victor label (catalog no. LSP-4513). Many sites credit Charley Pride with writing the song with assistance from Jack D. Johnson, but the lyrics were written by Mary A. Pepper Kidder (1820 - 1905) and the tune by William O. Perkins (1831 - 1903). (https://wordwisehymns.com/2013/08/30/did-you-think-to-pray/)

The album was awarded four-and-a-half stars from the web site AllMusic.[1] It debuted on Billboard magazine's country album chart on April 24, 1971, peaked at No. 1, and remained on the chart for 33 weeks.[2]
