Oh Lord above, If I just killed a man
Let somebody take the blame,
Oh Lord above, If I'm kneeling down,
I'm praying take away this pain, all up in here

I'm prayin', oh Lord I'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord I'm pleading with you,
Got some dealings to do before the day I'm dead.

He came for me just like I knew he would,
But this time I was ready, and I killed him good.
But he wasn't alone, there was one more left
He took my weapon from me, put it to the test.
When this angel appeared out of the dark,
With the devil in his eyes but god in his heart.
He slayed me down,
Saved me from a sudden death,
But I've still done wrong, so now

I'm prayin', oh Lord I'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord I'm pleading with you,
Got some dealings to do before the day I'm dead.

So there we are,
An angel and a man,
Both just standing there,
With blood on our hands.
What we gonna to do now?
This what I thought.
But before I could say it the angel talked.
He said im in here for life, anyway,
You're only in here for five, I'll take the blame.
So [bad word] now don't feel ashamed,
But oh lord I do.
That's why I'm prayin'!

I'm prayin', oh Lord I'm prayin' to you,
Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul.
I'm pleading, oh lord I'm pleading with you,
Got some healing to do inside I'm feeling low.

I'm prayin', oh Lord I'm prayin' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head
I'm pleading, lord I'm pleading with you,
Got some dealings to do before the day I'm dead.

I'm prayin', oh Lord I'm prayin' to you,
Save me from these sins weighing down on my soul.
I'm pleading, oh lord I'm pleading with you,
Got some healing to do inside I'm feeling low.
