The Big Prayer
(Grand/Basson) © Cami-Zack Publishing-PRS/BMI/ASCAP

Lord I’m praying that you hear me
You gotta show me how to live
lord I’m praying that you hear me
Won’t you teach me how to give
This old world’s come to an end
Help me find a way to start again

Lord I’m begging for forgiveness
got no other place to turn
Lord I’m begging for forgiveness
my empty heart’s begun to burn
Lord you gotta hear my prayer
These empty road have led me nowhere

I never believed in nothing
I never cared who I hurt
I never believed in nothing
I never cared who I hurt
Threw away what was given
Treated those I loved like dirt

Only thought of my own pleasures
Believed my sinning made me strong
I stole, I lied, I cheated
Spent my life in darkness my heart cold and empty
Took her love to show me I was wrong

Lord you gotta help me
You gotta hear my prayer
Lord you gotta listen
Don’t you see I’m down on my knees
I’ve been bad all my life
Lord these praying blues are killing me
