Vern Gosdin - Praying lyrics

They were pray---ing Praying for someone like me Not long ago I was thinking of home And I wondered if momma was there all alone I thought I'd drop by as I had before But the sound from within made me stop at the door She was pray-ing a sound that the world seldom hears Pray-ing her words were pleading and clear The sound of her voice as she spoke my name Brought tears to my eyes my heart filled with shame She was pray---ing praying for someone like me Walking one night I felt so alone My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known I hadn't noticed a church that was near Till the sound from within seem to fill the air They were pray-ing a sound that the world seldom hears Pray-ing the children that God loves so dear Outside in the darkness I could not see But I could picture them down on their knees Pray---ing praying for someone like me
