Vern Gosdin - Praying

They were ^Aprayin', prayin' for someone like ^Dme [Verse 1] ^DNot long ago, I was ^Gthinkin' of ^Dhome And ^AI wondered if Mama was there all a- ^Dlone I thought I'd drop by, as ^GI had be- ^Dfore But the ^Asound from within made me stop at the ^Ddoor

She was ^Dprayin', a sound that the world seldom ^Ahears Prayin' her words were pleading and ^Dclear

The ^Gsound of her voice, ^Das she spoke my name ^GBrought tears to my eyes, my ^Dheart filled with ^Ashame

She was ^Aprayin', prayin' for someone like ^Dme [Instrumental] | A | A | A | A | A | A | D | D

^DWalkin' one night, I ^Gfelt so a- ^Dlone My ^Aheart was so heavy from the trouble I've ^Dknown ^DI hadn't noticed, a ^Gchurch that was ^Dnear ^A'Til the sound from within seem to fill the ^Dair

They were ^Dprayin', a sound that the world seldom ^Ahears Prayin', the children that God loves so ^Ddear ^{Em F#m}

Out- ^Gside in the darkness, ^DI could not see ^GBut I could picture them ^Ddown on their ^Aknees

^APrayin', prayin' for someone like ^Dme
