Simple Man, Simple Prayer

Simple Man, Simple Prayer
@Rick Lang/Troy Engle
Lord I know we haven’t talked for quite a while
And I sure don’t mean to waste your precious time
I’m not one to complain, there’s folks worse off than me
I don’t know where to turn, so I’m down here on my knees
I been working hard seven days a week
Done everything I know, just to try and make ends meet
“Final’ letter from the bank came two days ago
It’d break my heart to tell the kids we might just lose our home
*CHORUS
I’ve done all I can do on my own
If they take the house we got no place to go
Sure could use a miracle, if you got one to spare
Lord I’m just a simple man, with a simple prayer
Just when things started lookin’ up
My youngest needed surgery to fix a problem with his heart
The money that we saved up for a rainy day
Went towards the bill from the hospital, the insurance wouldn’t pay
Lord I’m not askin’ nothin’ for myself
The family depends on me, and I could use a little help
I know you got the power to change that banker’s mind
And cut us some slack, cause we’re goin’ through hard times
