Prayin’

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
