Prayin'

Lord above, I just killed a man, let somebody take the blame
Lord above, I’m kneeling down, I’m prayin' take away this pain all up in here
I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in my head
I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s 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 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 door 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
So now I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in
my head
I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s to do before
the day I’m dead
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 5,
I’ll take the blame»
He said «Go right 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, atone me from these sins weighing down
on my soul
I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, you got some healing to do,
inside I’m feeling low
So now I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in
my head
I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s to do before
the day I’m dead
I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, atone me from these sins weighing down
on my soul
I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, you got some healing to do,
inside I’m feeling low
