WHY I PRAY
Raymond Moore / Gary Nicholson

Why I pray
Why I pray
I look for love every day
That’s why I pray

We have our struggles holding us down
Feeling like peace cannot be found
Ain’t no medicine to cure the pain
You take the pills, the hurt remains
So I try to get quiet and listen to my soul
Because I know I have no control

That’s why I pray
Why I pray
I look for hope every day
That’s why I pray

Can’t blame the newsman for the bad news
Can’t blame the losers for all they lose
Everybody knows this life ain’t fair
If you don’t grow you get nowhere
I try to be truthful and follow the path
Forgiveness is there every time I ask

That’s why I pray
Why I pray
I look for mercy every day
That’s why I pray

Through the love of Jesus
I am forgiven
It’s up to me how to go on living
I’ve got a good woman she’s been my rock
The power of her love taught me a lot
Stay true to yourself and love one another
In God’s eyes we all are brothers

That’s why I pray
Why I pray
I get a little closer every day
That’s why I pray
I look for love every day
That’s why I pray
That’s why I pray
That’s why I pray
