Prayin' (Riva Starr Edit)

Oh Lord above, if I just killed a man

Let somebody take the blame

Oh Lord above, if I'm knelling down

My prayer, take away this pain, oh, nothing helpsI'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You

Take away this guilt all up in my head

I'm pleading, oh Lord, I'm pleading with You

We got some dealings to do before the day I'm deadHe came for me just like I knew he would

But this time I was ready, and I killed him good

But we weren't alone, there was one more left

He took my weapon from me, put it to the testThat's when this angel appeared out of the dark

With the devil in his eyes but God in his heart

He slayed him down, saved me from a sudden death

But I've still done wrong

So now I'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You

Take away this guilt all up in my head

I'm pleading, oh Lord, I'm pleading with You

We got some dealings to do before the day I'm deadSo there we are, an angel and a man

Both just standing there, blood on our hands

"What we gon' do now?" Is what I thought

But before I could say it, the angel talkedHe said, "I'm in here for life anyway

You're only in here for five, I'll take the blame

So go run now, don't feel ashamed"

But oh Lord, I do, that's why I'm prayI'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You

Atone me from these sins weighing down on my soul

I'm pleading, oh Lord, I'm pleading with You

Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling low

I'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You

Take away this guilt all up in my head

I'm pleading, oh Lord, I'm pleading with You

We got some dealings to do before the day I'm deadI'm praying, oh Lord, I'm praying to You

Atone me from these sins weighing down on my soul

I'm pleading, oh Lord, I'm pleading with You

Got some healing to do, inside I'm feeling low
