Sometimes I Pray Lyrics

Sometimes I pray when I'm happy; sometimes I pray out of woe

Sometimes I pray cause I'm lost and alone and there's no other place left to go

Sometimes I pray for victory; sometimes I pray for peace

Sometimes I pray for things that I want; sometimes things that I need

Sometimes I pray cause I'm lonely; sometimes I pray 'cause I'm not

Sometimes I pray for just one at a time; sometimes I pray for the lot

Sometimes for needs of others; sometimes for needs of my own

Sometimes I pray about folks far away; sometimes folks right at home

Sometimes I pray when I'm helpless; sometimes I pray when I'm proud

Sometimes I pray way down deep in my heart; and sometimes I pray right out loud

Sometimes I pray when I'm righteous; sometimes I pray when I fall

Sometimes I pray every chance that I get; sometimes I don't pray at all

Sometimes I pray cause I wonder; sometimes I pray 'cause I know

Sometimes I pray and I mean it; sometimes it's all just for show

Sometime I pray for mercy; sometimes I pray for love

Sometimes I pray about things here below; sometimes things up above

But God knows the cries of the heart; God knows what we mean

It may not be what we ask or think but it's better than our best dream

God knows the cries of the heart, like only God could know

God hears the sighs of the heart and the prayers that God answers, are those
