I remember mama say
Darlin' come here
Let's kneel down and pray
We repeated this every night
Til mama new it was true
I'd be alright
Baby pray for your family and friends
And strangers you meet on the street
Her blessings covered me for awhile
But I'm no longer a child
Now I'm old enough, wise enough
I know enough to know
Can't depend on this crazy world
No tellin' which way the winds gonna blow
When I'm alone, sometimes its rough
And my best just ain't good enough
Cause my best is worth nothing
Without God on my side
Pray for awhile
And lay your burdens down
If you can believe it, you can receive it now
Pray for awhile
It may not be your style
But don't go missin' out on your miracle
Just because you won't bow
What you need to know when you pray
Is miracle happen everyday
Blessings starring you in the face
Could also be a millions miles away
There ain't nothing you can't ask
Just ask it in his name
Call out to Jesus, He frees us
From all burdens and pain
Mama ain't raised no fool
That's true enough
With everything you learned up to now
You thought you new enough
With all you have if you're missing out
On the blessings from God
You can reach the top, you just gotta stop
And lift up your hands
Come on let's pray
Pray for awhile
No more excuses
It's time to get down
Come on let's pray
Pray for awhile
God wants to use us
Then he must allow
