"Praying" lyrics - VERN GOSDIN

They were pray-ing
Praying for someone like me

Not long ago I was thinking of home
And I wondered if momma was there all alone
I thought I'd drop by as I had before
But the sound from within made me stop at the door

She was pray-ing a sound that the world seldom hears
Pray-ing her words were pleading and clear
The sound of her voice as she spoke my name
Brought tears to my eyes my heart filled with shame
She was pray-ing praying for someone like me

Walking one night I felt so alone
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known
I hadn't noticed a church that was near
Till the sound from within seem to fill the air

They were pray-ing a sound that the world seldom hears
Pray-ing the children that God loves so dear
Outside in the darkness I could not see
But I could picture them down on their knees
Pray-ing praying for someone like me
