Father God I'm praying to you For somebody who knows You Lord But, just hasn't, hasn't been seeing You in the right view lately Hear me out...
[Verse 1] Father, I'm praying for a friend He and I are really 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 faith 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's feelin' trapped Can't even hit up the mall Cause every lady's half-dressed temptin' him to lust and fall He keep the TV off Videos just make him feel like he ain't really nothin' Without money, girls and shiny wheels The other day he told me that he feels less a man Cause he ain't have a 5-year plan, or a piece of land And man its crazy cause his family thinks so much of him Plus he got a godly wife who's always showin' love for him But he's strugglin', even though he talks to me I tell him what to do but he don't listen when he ought'a be I'm scared for him cause there's people that look up to him He got some younger siblings who've been changed by what he's done for them
[Bridge 2x] 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
[Hook 2x] Yeah, I'm prayin' for you Yeah yeah, I'm prayin' for you
[Verse 2] God, his condition has worsened Since we were last conversin' I'm with him now, and he ain't doin' well Of this I'm certain He say he tryna' trust You Doesn't wanna disgust You But he was in the midst of sinners and did not discuss You And just today his anxiety's got the best of him He knows Christ but for hours refused 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 break him I pray You'll just have Your way with him Cause 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 Cause he ain't hearing You And he ain't feelin' me And God I know it's killin' You Because it's killing me And matter of fact there's something else he's concealin', see The person that I've been prayin' about is really me
