Prayin for You Songtext
von Lecrae

Father God I′m
Prayin' to You for
Somebody, who knows You Lord but
Just hasn′t
Hasn't been seein' You in the right view lately
Hear me out


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 face 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 head up the mall
Coz every lady's half-dressed temptin′ him to lust and fall
He keep the TV off, videos just make him feel
That he ain't really nothin′ without money, girls and shiny wheels
The other day he told me that he felt less a man
Coz he ain't have a five-year plan or a piece of land
And man it's crazy coz his family think so much of him
Plus he got a Godly wife who always showin′ 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 coz there's people that look up to him
He got some younger siblings who been changed by what he′s done for them
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

Yeah, I'm prayin′ for you
Yeah, I'm prayin′ for you
Yeah, I'm prayin′ for you
Yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you (God)


His condition is worsen
Since we were last conversed and
I′m with him now and he ain′t doin' well and this I′m certain
He say he tryna' trust You, doesn′t wanna disgust you
But he was in the mist of sinners and did not discuss You
And just today his anxiety's got the best of him
He knows Christ but for hours refuse 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 brake him I pray You'll just have Your way with him
Coz there′s a change in him and the effects are strong
I pray You 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
Coz 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 somethin' else he′s concealin' see
The person that I′ve been prayin' about is really me

Yeah, I'm prayin′ for you
Yeah, I′m prayin' for you
Yeah, I′m prayin' for you
Yeah, Yeah, I′m prayin' for you
