Pray For Awhile

I remember mama say

Darlin' come here

Let's kneel down and pray

We repeated this every night

Til mama new it was true

I'd be alright

Baby pray for your family and friends

And strangers you meet on the street

Her blessings covered me for awhile

But I'm no longer a child

Now I'm old enough, wise enough

I know enough to know

Can't depend on this crazy world

No tellin' which way the winds gonna blow

When I'm alone, sometimes its rough

And my best just ain't good enough

Cause my best is worth nothing

Without God on my side

Pray for awhile

And lay your burdens down

If you can believe it, you can receive it now

Pray for awhile

It may not be your style

But don't go missin' out on your miracle

Just because you won't bow

What you need to know when you pray

Is miracle happen everyday

Blessings starring you in the face

Could also be a millions miles away

There ain't nothing you can't ask

Just ask it in his name

Call out to Jesus, He frees us

From all burdens and pain

Mama ain't raised no fool

That's true enough

With everything you learned up to now

You thought you new enough

With all you have if you're missing out

On the blessings from God

You can reach the top, you just gotta stop

And lift up your hands

Come on let's pray

Pray for awhile

No more excuses

It's time to get down

Come on let's pray

Pray for awhile

God wants to use us

Then he must allow
