Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice
Can't you hear my cry for help
Try to heed my honest prayer

And judge me in my favor

'Cause you know my heart

You have come to me at night
But it's so hard to speak no evil
In a hole deprived of light


So I pray for you to answer
And to turn to me and smile

Shower me with love to save me
From demons deep inside


Protect me as you would your own eyes
In the shadows of your wings
And learn to know the sound that echoes

When an innocent man sings
When an innocent man sings
When he sings


So I lie with all my failures
Praying to my best friend's ghost

Time to kneel instead of sitting
And let me do thy bidding
Won't you let me do thy bidding yeah

Help me do thy bidding
