Lyrics for Song: Prayin' For You
Lyrics for Album: After The Music Stops [2006]
Father God, I'm prayin' to you for somebody,
Who knows you Lord but just hasn't, hasn't been seein'
You in the right view lately, Hear me out...
Father, I'm prayin' for a friend he and I are pretty close,
And out of all my friends for this one I'm concerned the most.
He say he readin' daily but he ain't really learnin'.
He been in church but say that he ain't moved by any sermon.
His face weak, he ain't prayed in a week, he wake up and
Just weep with his face in the sink Lord, you gotta help my man,
I'm prayin' for him daily, he ain't sinned but it just seem as
If he goin' crazy. He say he feelin' trapped, can't even head
Up the mall coz every lady's half-dressed temptin' him to lust and fall.
He keep the TV off, videos just make him feel that he ain't really
Nothin' without money, girls and shiny wheels. The other day he
Told me that he felt less a man coz he ain't have a five-year
Plan or a piece of land and man it's crazy coz his family think
So much of him, plus he got a Godly wife who always showin'
Love for him but he's strugglin', even though he talk to me,
I tell him what to do but he don't listen when he oughta' be.
I'm scared for him coz there's people that look up to him,
He got some younger siblings who been changed by what he's
Done for them but is it done for him, Lord don't let it be,
If he don't wanna talk to you then Father hear from me,
Is it done for him, Lord don't let it be, if he don't wanna
Talk to you then Father hear from me...
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you...
God, his condition is worsen since we were last conversed and
I'm with him now and he ain't doin' well and this I'm certain.
He say he tryna' trust you, doesn't wanna disgust you but he
Was in the mist of sinners and did not discuss you and just
Today his anxiety's got the best of him, he knows Christ but
For hours refuse to rest in Him, he's not the best of men but
Lord I know he really loves you and I can't understand why
Lately he's not thinkin' of you. People trust this dude,
You could crush this dude, Father he needs more of you
I pray you touch this dude, what can I say to him? I'm determined
To pray for him Father empty and brake him I pray you'll just
Have your way with him, coz there's a change in him and
The effects are strong, I pray you open up his heart before
The next song and when he gets home, I pray he'll open up
The sixty-six book love letter you wrote and soak it up coz
He ain't hearin' You and he ain't feelin' me and God I know
It's killin' You because it's killin' me and matter of fact
There's somethin' else he's concealin' see, the person that
I've been prayin' about is really me...
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you...
