Dame Grease - Prayer lyrics

I come to you hungry and tired, you give me food and let me sleep I come to you weak, you give me strength and that's deep You call me a sheep and lead me to green pastures Only asking that I keep the focus in between the chapters You give me the word and only ask that I interpret And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent You know I ain't perfect, but you'd like me to try Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie, 'til I die Lord, why is it that I go through so much pain? All I saw was black, all I felt was rain I come to you because it's you who knows You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed You gave me the light and let me bask in your glory So it was only right that when you ask for this story I put it together to do our dogs some good Our dogs being brothers and sisters in the hood Plenty of times you sent help my way, but I hid And I remember once you held me close, but I slid There was something that I just had to see That you wanted me to see so I can be what you wanted me to be And I think I've seen it, 'cause I don't feel the same Matter of fact, I know I've seen it, I can feel the change And it's strange, almost got me beating down your door But I have never known a love like this before It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain And up under the ceiling I get away from the rain And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone I know real so I wipe away the tears; it's on And I almost lost faith when you took my man Monty, Paso, and Jay's brother Dan And I fear that what I'm saying won't be heard until I'm gone But it's all good, 'cause I really didn't expect to live long So if it takes for me to suffer, for my brother to see the light Give me pain 'til I die, but please, Lord, treat him right
