Anthony Graham Brown - Which Way To Pray lyrics

[Verse 1] A little girl down on her knees Saying "I lay me down to sleep Lord bless us with a happy home And please make Daddy leave me alone." Cause the way he kisses her goodnight She knows that something's just not right Does she ask for things to be okay? Or ask for wings to fly away? It's hard for her to know which way to pray [Verse 2] She's made it through those troubled years But she's not through with pain and tears Cause it seems the man she chose Has a side that no one knows Her makeup hides the tell-tale scars But not the wounds inside her heart Does she ask the Lord for strength to stay? Or ask for help to get away? Sometimes it's hard to know which way to pray [Bridge] Lord perhaps our only prayer Should simply ask that you be there To give us comfort when we've lost our way Cause sometimes it's hard to know which way to pray [Verse 3] The preacher called and said, "Come home I'm afraid your Daddy's almost gone" Hate in your heart is no way to live Comes a time when you've got to forgive Suddenly she was ten years old She fought the tears and searched her soul Should she ask the Lord to ease his pain? Or ask for angels to take him away? Sometimes it's hard to know which way to pray [Tag] Cause life is never black and white There's so many shades of gray Oh sometimes we just don't know which way to pray Yeah sometimes we just don't know which way to pray Mmmm
