Prayin’ for You

Lyrics

[Intro] Father, God I–I'm prayin' to you for somebody who knows You, Lord, but just haven't–hasn't been seein' You in the right view lately. Hear me out... [Verse 1] Father, I'm prayin' for a friend, he and I are pretty close And out of all my friends for this one I'm concerned the most He say he readin' daily, but he ain't really learnin' He been in church but say that he ain't moved by any sermon His faith's weak, he ain't prayed in a week He wake up and just weep with his face in the sink, Lord You gotta help my man, I'm prayin' for him daily He ain't sinned but it just seem as if he goin' crazy He say he feelin' trapped, can't even hit up the mall 'Cause every lady's half-dressed temptin' him to lust and fall He keep the TV off Videos just make him feel like he ain't really nothin' without money, girls, and shiny wheels The other day he told me that he felt less a man 'cause he ain't have a 5-year plan Or a piece of land And, man, it's crazy 'cause his family thinks so much of him Plus he got a godly wife who always show her love for him But he's strugglin', even though he talk to me I tell him what to do but he don't listen when he oughta be I'm scared for him 'cause there's people that look up to him He got some younger siblings who've been changed by what he's done for them [Bridge] But is it done for him? Lord, don't let it be If he don't wanna talk to You then, Father, hear from me Is it done for him? Lord, don't let it be If he don't wanna talk to You then, Father, hear from me [Hook] Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, uh, yeah I'm prayin' for you Uh, yeah, I'm prayin' for you Yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you [Verse 2] God, his condition has worsened since we was last conversin' I'm with him now, he ain't doin' well, of this I'm certain He say he tryna trust You, doesn't wanna disgust You But he was in the midst of sinners and did not discuss You And just today his anxiety's got the best of him He knows Christ, but for hours refused to rest in Him He's not the best of men, but Lord, I know he really loves You And I can't understand why lately he's not thinkin' of You People trust this dude, you could crush this dude Father he needs more of You, I pray You touch this dude What can I say to him? I'm determined to pray for him Father empty and break him, I pray You'll just have Your way with him 'Cause there's a change in him, and the effects are strong I pray You'll open up his heart before the next song And when he gets home I pray he'll open up the sixty-six book love letter You wrote and soak it up 'Cause he ain't hearin' You, and he ain't feelin' me And God I know it's killin' You, because it's killin' me And matter of fact there's something else he's concealin', see The person that I've been prayin' about is really me [Hook] Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, uh, yeah I'm prayin' for you Uh, yeah, I'm prayin' for you Yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
