Verse 1:
I got the call at 6am
It don’t look good you’d better hurry in
They said you’re fighting for your life
Scared to death I won’t get back in time
Pre-Chorus:
I pray that God won’t take you home
Cause I don’t know if you belong
The only thing that comforts me is
When I pray
Verse 2:
Sittin’ by your bed I cry
I cling to Hope that you will open your eyes
Addictions taken hold again
I’ve got to find a way to get Faith in
Pre-Chorus:
I pray that God won’t take you home
Cause I don’t know if you belong
And the only thing that comforts me is
Chorus:
When I pray (Its at His feet I lay it all)
When I pray (I feel His tender mercies fall)
Refrain:
We’ve been down this road
So many times before
I don’t know what else I can say
I think that I’m to blame
For the misery and pain
Wish I could take it all away
But all I can do is
Verse 3:
Sit beside your bed and cry
I Cling to Hope that you will open your eyes
I need to know that if you go
You found salvation somewhere along the road
Pre-Chorus:
I pray That God won’t take you home
Cause I don’t know if you belong
The only thing that comforts me is when
Chorus:
When I pray (Its at His feet I lay it all)
When I pray (I feel His tender mercies fall)
When I pray (He gives me strength that I can’t see)
When I pray (The only thing that comforts me is)
When I pray
