Vern Gosdin - Praying Lyrics
Prayin’ for someone like meNot long ago, I was thinkin’ of homeAnd I wondered if Mama was there all aloneI thought I'd drop by, as I had beforeBut the sound from within made me stop at the doorShe was prayin’, a sound that the world seldom hearsPrayin’ her words were pleading and clearThe sound of her voice, as she spoke my nameBrought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shameShe was prayin’, prayin’ for someone like meWalkin’ one night, I felt so aloneMy heart was so heavy from the trouble I’ve knownI hadn’t noticed, a church that was near‘Til the sound from within seem to fill the airThey were prayin’, a sound that the world seldom hearsPrayin’, the children that God loves so dearOutside in the darkness, I could not seeBut I could picture them down on their kneesPrayin’, prayin’ for someone like me
