Pray
Paul Colamn Trio Lyrics

You want to know what I see
The singer is going to explain what they see when they pray.

When I pray and I bow on my knees?
The singer bows on their knees when they pray.

A grand design, a master plan
The singer believes that there is a perfect plan that God has designed.

There's a sea of broken people
The world is full of people who are hurting and need help.

An empty church and a crooked steeple
There are churches with a lack of faith and with leaders who are not trustworthy.

They say I'm a fool
The world sees the singer's faith as foolish.

If I say He's going to save me
The singer believes that God will save them.

Well you say all the world has
The singer is addressing someone who disputes the truth.

Rejected truth and all that God has
The world has turned away from God's message of salvation.

Set aside for us to be
God has created a path for people to follow to find peace and comfort.

And if I am his reflection
The singer sees themselves as a reflection of God in the world.

With all my imperfections
The singer knows they are not perfect, but tries to follow God's teachings.

I can't call myself
The singer is acknowledging their faults and not claiming to be perfect.

Anything but just forgiven
The only thing the singer can claim is that they are forgiven by God.

Pray with me one more time tonight
The singer is asking for people to pray with them.

Pray we'll be walking in the light of love
The singer wants to walk in love as they pray.

And if you say that Jesus is alive
The singer is speaking to someone who believes in Jesus.

Then he's walking right there by your side
Jesus is present with the believer in their daily life.

Why do you ask WWJD?
The singer questions the need for the popular phrase, 'What Would Jesus Do.'

I want to take the walls of the church
The singer wants to remove barriers that separate people and spread God's message of love and acceptance.

Knock them down and build a bridge across
The singer wants to break down the walls separating people and build a bridge to bring them together.

The valley we created
People have created a valley of distance and disunity between each other and God.

Man's religion crucified Him
The singer believes that it was religious beliefs and practices that crucified Jesus, which is not what God intended.

Pray that we're not the ones to judge
The singer wants to pray for people not to be judgmental towards others.

Pray that we all would be one and

Pray that our friendships would warm like the sun
The singer wants people to pray for warm, nurturing friendships and relationships.

And pray that we'd stop judging each other
The singer wants people to pray for an end to judgment and criticism towards others.

We've got to hold together

A house divided can't stand the weather
People need to come together and overcome difficulty in order to survive harsh situations.

We can stand as one
The singer believes that people can unite and overcome obstacles together.
