Praying
Not long ago I as thinking of
home.
And I wondered if mama was there
all alone.
I thought I'd drop by as I had
before.
But the sound from with in made
me stop at the door.
Chorus
She was praying, A sound that
the world seldom hears.
Praying, Her words were pleading
and clear.
The sound of her voice as she
spoke my name.
Brought tears to my eyes, my
heart filled with shame.
Praying, Praying for someone
like me.
I was walking one night, I felt
so alone.
My heart was heavy from the
troubles I'd known.
I hadn't noticed a church that
was near.
Till the sound from within
seemed to fill the air.
They were praying, A sound that
the world seldom hears.
Praying, The children that God
loves so dear.
Outside in the darkness, I could
not see.
But I could picture them down on
their knees.
Praying, Praying for someone
like me.
