A D
They were prayin', prayin' for someone like me
[Verse 1]
D G D
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home
A D
And I wondered if Mama was there all a- lone
G D
I thought I'd drop by, as I had be- fore
A D
But the sound from within made me stop at the door
[Chorus 2]
D A
She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
D
Prayin' her words were pleading and clear
[Bridge 1]
G D
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name
G D A
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame
[Chorus 3]
A D
She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D G D
Walkin' one night, I felt so a- lone
A D
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known
D G D
I hadn't noticed, a church that was near
A D
'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air
[Chorus 4]
D A
They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
D Em F#m
Prayin', the children that God loves so dear
[Bridge 2]
G D
Out- side in the darkness, I could not see
G D A
But I could picture them down on their knees
[Chorus 5]
A D
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
