I Heard Her Pray

Stopped by the grocery store today

I saw a lady and I watched her pray

Could you spare a dollar today

For a chocolate bar okay

As I turned and walked away

That was when; I heard her pray

Thank you Lord what you do for me

You set me free from the misery

You stopped the strife and you filled my life

Thank you Lord for my beautiful life

Thank you Lord what you do for me

You set me free from the misery

You stopped the strife and you filled my life

Thank you Lord for my beautiful life

A bill collector called and woke me up

Said they’re gonna come and take my truck

Rolled out of bed and went to work

Decked my boss cause he’s such a jerk

What the heck was he gonna say

And in my mind; I heard the lady pray

Thank you Lord what you do for me

You set me free from the misery

You stopped the strife and you filled my life

Thank you Lord for my beautiful life

You know my temper gets the best of me

But I don’t want any sympathy

I gotta do what I know is right

Oh Lord let me see the light

I wasn’t sure what I ought to say

Dear lady; teach me to pray

Thank you Lord what you do for me

You set me free from the misery

You stopped the strife and you filled my life

Thank you Lord for my beautiful life

Thank you Lord what you do for me

You set me free from the misery

You stopped the strife and you filled my life

Thank you Lord for my beautiful life
