Praying

D                    C            G
Praying, praying for someone like me


[Verse 1]
G                  C           G
Not long ago I was thinking of home
G     C                     G
And I wondered if Momma was there 
all alone
G C                       G
I thought I'd drop by, as I'd done 
before
G       D                         
But the sound from within made me 
C           G
stop at the door


[Verse 2]
D       C          G
She was praying, a sound that the 
world seldom hears
C            G
Praying, her words were pleading and
 clear

G   C                      G
The sound of her voice, as she spoke
 my name
G       D                    C  
Brought tears to my eyes, my 
               G
heart filled with shame
D                    C            G
Praying, praying for someone like me

[Verse 3]
G                             C  
I was walking one night and I 
     G
felt so alone
G  D                      C     
My heart was weary on the 
       G
trouble I've known
C                  G
I hadn't noticed a church that was 
near
G   C                           
The sound from within seemed to 
G        D
fill the air


[Verse 4]
G         C          G
They were praying, a sound that the 
world seldom hears
C           D                
Praying, the tune that our Lord 
           G
loves to hear
C                       G
I found in the darknes, I could not 
see
G       C                         
I could picture them down on their 
 D
knees
G                    D            G
Praying, praying for someone like me
