How many times have you been the one Sittin' in the judgment seat Or sweepin' 'round somebody else's door When you live 3 blocks down the street Don't be so quick to tear your brother down 'Cause it might have just been one of them days It doesn't take that long to tear somebody down But it takes less time to pray If you see me doin' wrong Why don't you pray for me, pray for me? There's no need to cast a stone Why don't you pray for me, pray for me? If you just happen to see me fall just Pray for me, pray for me? Why not be the one that I can call To pray for me? Don't make a habit of lookin' for faults If the motive ain't love The only reason you're where you are Is somebody decided to help you up It'd be a shame for you to close your eyes Turn your back and just walk away Just take the time to care enough To go down on your knees and pray If you see me doin' wrong Why don't you pray for me, pray for me?
There's no need to cast a stone Why don't you pray for me, pray for me? If you just happen to see me fall just Pray for me, pray for me Why not be the one that I can call To pray for me? Don't forget where you came from Remember, you were that someone Take the time to think about The hand that pulled you out And on your way up to the top Stop and forget me not If you see me doin' wrong Why don't you pray for me, pray for me? There's no need to cast a stone Why don't you pray for me, pray for me? If you just happen to see me fall just Pray for me, pray for me Why not be the one that I can call To pray for me? You're my brother, you're my sister Won't you pray for me? (Yeah) In the name of my Father Won't you pray for me? In the name of my Father Won't you pray for me? In the name of my Father Won't you pray for me? In the name of my Father Won't you pray for me?
