Lyrics
So Now I PRAY
Bills all around me, Lucifer trying to trap me, The less I think the less I do, Fall time to talk to you, Why am I going thru this stress, Could it be another test, I come up short like always, this is why today I am here to say, I know you got my back so now I Pray
Lord, Enlarge my territory
I lift you up, I Give You the Glory
I am ready now, I will not wonder off
Protect me, so I do me no harm
Knees aching from the floor, I hear a knock but cant see the door, That is where Faith has to come in, I also claimed it with a Prayer thru this pen, Give me strength now I say, I am attritional for what I did today, I know you got my back so now I Pray
Lord, Enlarge my territory
I lift you up, I Give You the Glory
I am ready now, I will not wonder off
Protect me, so I do me no harm
I got to stop and think about what I fear, & what I need to do to get it back in gear, More times I fall short, send me a rope down, Give me wisdom to see what I aint doing rite, I am sorry for what I did that time Lord, Nobody knows but you, & I am ashamed for it, But now that you have SmackeD me & I have felt your wrath, I know how it feels to be left OUTSIDE
Lord, Enlarge my territory
I lift you up, I Give You the Glory
I am ready now, I will not wonder off
Protect me, so I do me no harm © 2001 James E. Mayo
