BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR
(lyrics by Mather Louth & Chopper Franklin)

John 8
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”

Here is the light and lo, here is the way
Ushering judgment with these hands that pray
Never mind what the good book is commanding
I know that I still remain in good standing

CHORUS
You think you’re drawin’ an ace
But you’re fallin’ from grace
This ain’t some kinda Holy War
When the Faith is ablaze
And you’re all outta praise
Be careful what you pray for

Here is the church and here is the steeple
Closing our doors to the undesired people
Whom shall we pluck out if they so offend us?
Justified because our anger is righteous

BRIDGE
I have been sanctified in holy blood
I have been chosen and Your name ain’t mud
The fountain is flowing from heaven above
I walk around knowing The grace of his love
I was created in his holy image
Path that I’m walking is the path of Privilege
Heaven baptized me with Spirit and fire
Oh woe to the sinners and to the deniers
