Praying

D                    C            G
Praying, praying for someone like me


[Verse 1]
G                  C           G
Not long ago I was thinking of home
G     C                     G
And I wondered if Momma was there all alone
G C                       G
I thought I'd drop by, as I'd done before
G       D                         C           G
But the sound from within made me stop at the door


[Verse 2]
D       C          G
She was praying, a sound that the world seldom hears
C            G
Praying, her words were pleading and clear
G   C                      G
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name
G       D                    C                 G
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame
D                    C            G
Praying, praying for someone like me

[Verse 3]
G                             C       G
I was walking one night and I felt so alone
G  D                      C            G
My heart was weary on the trouble I've known
C                  G
I hadn't noticed a church that was near
G   C                           G        D
The sound from within seemed to fill the air


[Verse 4]
G         C          G
They were praying, a sound that the world seldom hears
C           D                           G
Praying, the tune that our Lord loves to hear
C                       G
I found in the darknes, I could not see
G       C                          D
I could picture them down on their knees
G                    D            G
Praying, praying for someone like me
