I've been too sick to pray, lord
That's why we ain't talked in a while
It's been some of them days, lord
I thought i was on my last mile

But i'm feelin' okay, lord
And i'm glad that i called you today
Never needed you more
I woulda called you before
But i've been to sick to pray

Remember the family, lord?
I know they will remember you+
And all of their prayers, lord
They talk to you just like i do

Well, i reckon that's all, lord
That's all i can think of to say
And thank you, my friend
We'll be talkin' again
If i'm not too sick to pray
