Lord I hope this day is good I'm feeling empty and misunderstood I should be thankful Lord I know I should but Lord I hope this day is good Lord have you forgotten me I've been prayin' to you faithfully I'm not saying I'm a righteous man but Lord I hope you understand I don't need fortune and I don't need fame Send down the thunder Lord send down the rain But when you're planning just how it will be plan a good day for me Lord I hope this day is good... [ mandolin ] You've been the King since the dawn of time all that I'm asking is a little less cryin' It might be hard for the devil to do but it would be easy for you Lord I hope this day is good...
