Ive Been Praying

1. Oh where were you, when the gang met last night,
We had so much fun, but things wasnt right,
Oh, we missed you so, and youre such a sight,
But they didnt know, that Id been a prayin,
They didnt know, that Id been a prayin.

2. I told the Lord, that Id do His will,
If one more time, His Spirit I could feel,
Though Ive stumbled along, I asked God for a light,
So that I wont be lost, in the darkness of night,
Ive been a prayin, Ive been a prayin.

3. The world passes me by, and they say things aint right,
But friend, I dont care, my Lords holding me tight,
Im happy with Him, my world is so bright,
So let the crowd go their way, Ill just go on a prayin,
Ill just go on prayin, Ill just go on prayin.

Chorus: I asked the Lord to save my soul,
I asked the Lord, to wash and make me whole,
I promised the Lord, that Id do what was right,
Thats the reason, my friend,
I wasnt with you last night,
Ive been a prayin, Ive been a prayin.
