Foxhole Prayer - Hedy McDonald

Foxhole Prayer Lyrics

This open field’s been flanked by catastrophe
So I jumped into the foxhole but I fell too deep
Now no one can hear my calls for miles around
No one to help me figure this out
I ran for cover so desperately, tried to hide the beaten path that shows where I’ve been.
The days have changed.
But my pain’s the same.
Until I break my silence
And clear my name, so
God give me the strength, to accept the fate and carry on.
Hold me in your arms, rock me gently through the storm.
Oh grant me a moment’s serenity to pull me through.
And give me the courage to do this thing I cannot do. Without you.
I’m tired of this heavy heart, my head is hanging down
My will is broken and my knees have hit the ground.

Dear God can hear me?
Can you hear my pray?
If you get me through this mess
I swear I’ll change my ways, lord
God give me the strength, to accept the fate and carry on.
Hold me in your arms, and rock me gently through the storm.
Oh grant me a moment’s serenity to pull me through.
And give me the courage to do this thing I cannot do.
Without you.
I think I’ve been hear before, you’ve heard me knock at your door
I don’t mean to be a bother, but my house is on fire
keep my head above water, hanging from a barbed wire
So I’m Praying to you Father, since I’m sit’n here in my foxhole
Everybody prays sit’n in the foxhole
Everybody prays sit’n in the foxhole
Everybody prays when their in the foxhole
Everybody knows the foxhole prayer
Everybody pray, everybody pray.
