DMX - Prayer lyrics

rate me

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