The Prayer
©Copyright 2007. Danny McIntosh & Wayne Murphy

Verse 1
He said, Lord I thank you for my daily bread and I thank you for the drink
and lord I thank you for keeping me alive at least I ain?t dead yet I think

I want to thank you for you patience in me, as I?m stumbling all the time
I know It can be tough dealing with a man like me, always straying from the light.

I swear that I?ve found a new beginning and I know I?ve been wrong before.
But, if you look down on this prayer I?m sending. Because I?m not sure what to ask for. See here goes.

Chorus
I can see heaven every time I look into her eyes,
and I can hear angles singing sweet music singing all night.
So lord please watch over her tonight, she?s my once in a life time.

I know a man like you has bigger things to do, and bigger ways to spend your time.
And there?s better men than me and bigger tragedies than this little one of mine.

I know that I?ve never read your word, but, I?m not asking you for me. Because
you?ve got an angel down here on this earth that needs to wait to get her wings

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge
as I lay worried head down to rest, with her body next to mine
you and I both know that a women like her only comes around
maybe once in a life time.
