I HAVE A SIMPLE PRAYER FOR YOU
TO HELP YOU TO GET BY
I PRAY YOU'LL LEARN TO DRINK
CHEAT, STEAL, KILL AND LIE
NOW BEAR WITH ME FOR A MOMENT
AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY
I PRAY YOU WILL LEARN TO DRINK
FROM ONLY THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH
GOD'S OWN WORD THE HOLY BIBLE
FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH
I PRAY YOU'LL LEARN TO CHEAT
SATAN OF ANY HOLD HE MAY HAVE ON YOU
AND KEEP YOU FREE OF TEMPTATION
EACH DAY YOUR WHOLE LIFE THROUGH
I PRAY YOU'LL LEARN TO STEAL
A LITTLE TIME FROM EVERY DAY
TO SPEND WITH GOD THERE ON YOUR KNEES
TAKE THIS TIME EACH DAY AND PRAY
I PRAY YOU'LL LEARN TO KILL
ANY DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION AT ALL
AND BE HAPPY IN THE KNOWLEDGE
THAT YOU'VE TRULY ANSWERED GOD'S CALL
I PRAY YOU'LL LEARN TO LIE
YOUR HEAD ON YOUR PILLOW AT NIGHT
WITH GOD'S PEACE UPON YOUR BOSOM
KNOWING IT'S ALL GONNA BE ALRIGHT
SWEET TIME OF PRAYER SWEET TIME OF PRAYER
THAT LET'S THE LORD KNOW YOU CARE
AND LEADS YOU TO THE FATHER'S THRONE
WHERE YOU MAKE ALL YOUR WISHES KNOWN
CAST DOWN YOUR HEARTACHES FIND RELIEF
ALLAY ALL DISTRESS AND ALL GRIEF
ESCAPE OLD SATAN'S WRETCHED SNARE
AND FIND YOUR KNEES EACH DAY FOR PRAYER
