Lyrics
Verse- Try as I might
Life never quite
Turned out all right
Verse- No matter how
How hard I pressed
Though I did my best
My dreams always slipped out of sight
Lift- I believed in my soul
It was me in control
I held on to a fool’s fantasy
Without God in my heart
Ev’rything fell apart
With all my sense of reality
Chorus- Till I prayed (I prayed)
Man, I prayed (I prayed)
Feel no shame when I say
I owe Him every day
Of my life in this world God has made
Release- I got down on my knees and prayed
Verse- Life’s been a climb
I never found time
To trust in His glory and might
Verse- Until the pain
Pain of regret
Made me change my mindset
And I finally did see the light
Lift- All my days He’d fulfill
If I’d surrender my will
He’d been waiting there so patiently
Hoping I’d come to see
It was not up to me
To rule over my own destiny
Chrous- When I prayed (I prayed)
Man, I prayed (I prayed) .
I asked for His help .
And grace for myself .
And mercy for sinners like me….
Chorus- Hey, I prayed (I prayed)
I surely prayed (I prayed)
Feel no shame when I say
I do it every day
Of my life in this world God has made
Release- I got down on my knees and prayed
