The Prayer God Always Answers

There once was a man born blind

Spent most of his life a beggar

With reckless abandon

As Jesus passed him

He shouted right at him

Like a child for his mother

Jesus Christ, Son of God

Have mercy, have mercy

Two people went up to pray

A priest and a politician

The first said"I give thanks

That I'm not like that snake"

The other said, under his breath, with contrition

Jesus Christ, Son of God

Have mercy on me

Have mercy

Everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled

Everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted

Everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled

Everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted

Jesus Christ, Son of God

Have mercy on me

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

Have mercy

Lord I confess my pride

And the ways I hide the cancer

Teach me the words of life

Teach me the prayer God always answers
