Album: The Defamation of Strickland Banks
Lord Above, father's killed a man,
Let somebody take the blame,
Lord above, found knelling down,
my pray take away this pain going up in here.
I'm prayin', Lord i'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord i'm pleading for you,
Got some things to do
before the day i'm dead.
He came for me just like I knew he would,
But this time I was ready, and I killed him good
But he weren't wrong, there was one more left
he took my weapon from me, put it to the test.
When this angel appeared out of the dark,
with the devil in his eyes but God in his heart.
He slayed me down,
Saved me from a sudden death,
But I've still done wrong, so now
I'm prayin', Lord i'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord i'm pleading for you,
Got some things to do
before the day i'm dead.
So there we are,
An angel and a man,
Both just standing there,
With blood on our hands.
What we gonna to do now,
this what I thought.
But before I could say it the angel talked.
He said i'm in here for love, anyway,
you're only in here for five i'll take the blame.
So go run now don't feel ashamed,
But 'o lord I do that's why I pray!
I'm prayin', O' Lord i'm prayin' to you,
Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul.
I'm pleading, lord i'm pleading for you,
got some healing to do inside i'm feeling love.
I'm prayin', Lord i'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord i'm pleading for you,
Got some things to do
before the day i'm dead.
I'm prayin', O' Lord i'm prayin' to you,
Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul.
I'm pleading, lord i'm pleading for you,
got some healing to do inside i'm feeling love.
