Prayer - Skit

I come to you hungry and tired

You give me food, let me sleep

I come to you weak

You give me strength, and that's deep

You call me a sheep, and lead me to green pastures

Only askin' that I keep the focus in between the chapters

You give me the word and only ask that I interpret

And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent

You know I ain't perfect, but you'd like me to try

Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie 'til I die

Lord, why is it that I go through so much pain?

All I saw was black, all I felt was rain

I come to you because it's you who knows

You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed

You gave me the light and let me bask in your glory

So it was only right that when you ask for this story

I put it together to do our dogs some good

Our dogs being brothers and sisters of the hood

Plenty of times you should help my way, but I hid

And I remember once you held me close, but I slid

It was somethin' that I just had to see

That you wanted me to see so I could be what you wanted me to be

And I think I've seen it 'cause I don't feel the same

Matter of fact I know I've seen it, I can feel the change

It's strange, but it's got me beatin' down your door

But I've never known love like this before

It's a wonderful feelin' to get away from the pain

And up under the ceiling I get away from the rain

And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone

I know real, so I wipe away the tear, it's on

And I almost lost faith when you took my man

Monte, Paso, and Jay's brother Dan

And I fear that what I'm sayin' won't be heard until I'm gone

But it's all good 'cause I really didn't expect to live long

So if it takes for me to suffer for my brother to see the light

Give me pain 'til I die, but, please, Lord, treat him right
