Prayin'

[Verse 1] Oh Lord above, if I just killed a man Let somebody take the blame Oh Lord above, if I'm knelling down My prayer, take away this pain, oh, nothing helps [Hook 1] I'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying 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 [Verse 2] But this time I was ready, and I killed him good But we weren't alone, 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 him down, saved me from a sudden death But I've still done wrong [Hook 1] [Verse 3] So there we are, an angel and a man Both just standing there, blood on our hands "What we gon' do now?" Is what I thought But before I could say it, the angel talked He said, "I'm in here for life 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 pray [Hook 2] I'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You Atone 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 low [Hook 1] [Hook 2]
