PRAYING

WRITTEN BY: JOHNNY VANZANT, DONNIE VANZANT, BLAIR DALY, MARK MATEJKA

If I could go back twenty years ago

I'd wrap my arms around you Jesus

Tell you just how much I love you so

I love you so

I was just too young, too blind to see

That you were everything I ever needed

But this wild heart still

Had to chase my dreams

My crazy dreams

I aimed and gave it my best shot

I worked my way straight to the top

But deep inside of me

I still felt something missing

It took a while to realize

My greater purpose in this life

Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given

Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting

But from this day on, you'll finally find me praying

Oh, praying

So thankful that you say it's not too late

To come back home and call you Father

Ask forgiveness for all of my mistakes

All my mistakes

I fought, like a stubborn soul

Yeah, I thought, I was in control

But, you caught, me when I was falling

Now, it's my calling

I aimed and gave it my best shot

I worked my way straight to the top

But deep inside of me

I still felt something missing

It took a while to realize

My greater purpose in this life

Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given

Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting

But from this day on, you'll finally find me praying

How can it be better?

With you, I'll live forever

I put my hands together, and pray

It took a while to realize

My greater purpose in this life

Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given

Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting (Waiting)

But from this day on, you'll finally find me

Yeah, praying

Glorifying your name

You gave me hope, you gave me strength

Lord, you're all I'll ever need

Oh, praying, praying

Praying

Oh now, I'm praying, praying

Praying

Lord, I'm praying
