Track 1 of 13 on the album "My Gospel Roots" (2017) [Intro] G D A7
A7
Praying

                         D
Praying for someone like me
[Verse 1]
D                   G            D
Not long ago, I was thinking of home

      A7                               D
And I wondered if Mama was there all alone

                           G            D
I thought I'd drop by like I've done before

        A7                                     D
But the sound from within made me stop at the door
[Chorus]
        D
She was praying

                               A7
A sound that the world seldom hears

A7
Praying

                            D
Her words were pleading and clear

      G                   D
The sound of her voice as she called my name

        G                    D                   A7
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame

A7
Praying

                         D
Praying for someone like me
[Bridge] G D G D A7 A7 D [Verse 2]
      D                       G         D
I was walking one night and I felt so alone

A7                                        D
My heart was weary from the troubles I've known

                     G              D
I hadn't noticed a church that was near

         A7                                   D
'til the sound from within seemed to fill the air
[Chorus]
          D
They were praying

                               A7
A sound that the world seldom hears

A7
Praying

                               D
The children that God loves so dear

   G                     D
Outside in the darkness, I could not see

G                        D              A7
But I could picture them there on their knees

A7
Praying

                         D
Praying for someone like me

          A7
They were praying

    N.C.                          D
Praying for someone... like... me
