PRAY/ with Tom Stipe

Lyrics

Pray Miller/ Stipe Southwest in New Mexico A young girl heard she had eight months to go She said "Doctor, I can't have a baby now" The daddy's been a long time gone And I am barely holdin on I'm on my own- and I just don't see how The Doctor said "I know a place" And through the tears that stung her face She saw the church doors open wide Like open arms- she sat inside She said I pray -that you're listening today I give this up and lift this up to you I pray- that you help me find my way I'm prayin- that you tell me what to do I pray, I pray... Northeast of Buffalo A couple gathered 'round the phone The doctor said, You can't have a baby now Ssch a long time they'd been tryin They just held each other cryin And laid the book of baby names face down And looking for amazing grace The kitchen floor became the place On their knees with folded hands They asked again for one more chance They said Wepray -that you're listening today We give this up and lift this up to you We pray- that you help us find our way We're prayin that you tell us what to do We pray, this I pray Southwest in New Mexico A girl met a couple from Buffalo And together, they had a baby late last night And ain't it just like GOD To make two wrongs a right Pray, pray, just pray....
