Lyrics

Sister, Pray
(Intro)
I. I spent some time. Spent some time with Jesus.
On that night, that lonely night.
I was broke, in so many pieces.
Could He put me back together, if He tried?
(Choir) Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
II. I said some prayers. Prayin' for my first time.
On my knees. Down on my knees.
I looked up. Oh, Heavenly Father.
I'll do better and I swear it! Help me, please!
(Choir) Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
(Chorus)
I will pray. I will pray, to Sweet Jesus every night.
Hear my prayers. Be my Savior. Guide me to th' light.
I'm a little lost lamb. That's who I am.
And, so I pray.
III. It's this dead end. A dead end to nowhere.
Can't turn 'round. Can't turn around.
Chose to wait, 'til in such dire straits.
Save me, Jesus. Take my soul. Ain't goin' to hell!
(Choir) Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister. Yeah, Sister, just pray!
(Chorus)
I will pray. I will pray, to Sweet Jesus every night.
Hear my prayers. Be my Savior. Guide me to th' light.
I'm a little lost lamb. That's who I am.
And, so I pray!
