Oh, Lord above, father's killed a man Let somebody take the blame Oh, Lord above, found knelling down My prayer take away this pain going up in here I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead He came for me, just like I knew he would But this time I was ready, and I killed him good But he weren't wrong, there was one more left He took my weapon from me, put it to the test That's when this angel appeared out of the dark With the devil in his eyes, but God in his heart He slayed me down, saved me from a sudden death But I've still done wrong, so now I'm prayin', oh, Lord I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead So there we are, an angel and a man Both just standing there, with blood on our hands What we gonna to do now, this what I thought But before I could say it, the angel talked He said I'm in here for love, anyway You're only in here for five, I'll take the blame So go run now, don't feel ashamed But oh Lord, I do, that's why I'm prayin' I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling love I'm prayin', oh, Lord I'm prayin' to you Take away this guilt all up in my head I'm pleading, oh, Lord I'm pleading with you We got some dealings to do, before the day I'm dead I'm prayin', oh, Lord, I'm prayin' to you Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul I'm pleading, oh, Lord, I'm pleading with you Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling love

By michael mcdonald Why do we look so hard? Why do we ask so much? In this world, it's sad in a way How time unblesses love, and faith is lost There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return Why do we want so much? Can we be satisfied? In this life how many times Can we pass the promised land, forever lost? There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride Eventually, the day will come When lies won't buy time Tears won't bring hope When there's no more prayin'¡ Nowhere to run or do what we've done before There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride

It was only yesterday When I heard the teacher say Patiently, one and two make three We were children, you and me Let us pray for the ones they call The children of today Nothin' left but promises Nothin' much is certain All we see is want and need across the board, why thank you Lord We're livin' in the glory of your care Skies of blue have all turned brown To the sound of sighing Lord abide, let us stem the tide Of broken dreams Sometimes you seem to tell us It's too late for prayin' See the ocean wild and blue Think of all that's in her She will not surrender to the likes of us, but then she must They tell us, wise men tell us, it's too late For each child with eyes that smile There'll be ten more cryin' Lord abide, let us stem the time Of helplessness But then I guess we're livin' Is it too late for tryin' Nothin' here but grains of sand Nothin' much worth savin' Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear, and still we share Tomorrow could get better than today To the ones who've loved in vain Will you be beholden Lord abide, let us stem the tide Of broken dreams Sometimes you seem to tell us It's too late for prayin'
