1. Oh where were you, when the gang met last night,
We had so much fun, but things wasn’t right,
We missed you so, you’re such a sight,
But they didn’t know, that I’d been a prayin’,
They didn’t know that I’d been a prayin’.
2. I told the Lord, that I’d do His will,
If one more time, His Spirit I could feel,
Though I’ve stumbled along, I asked God for a light,
So that I won’t be lost, in the darkness of night,
I’ve been a prayin’, I’ve been a prayin’.
3. The world passes me by, and they say things ain’t right,
But friend, I don’t care, my Lord’s holding me tight,
I’m happy with Him, my world is so bright,
So let the crowd go their way, I’ll just go on a prayin’,
I’ll just go on prayin’, I’ll just go on prayin’.
Chorus: I asked the Lord to save my soul,
I asked the Lord, to wash and make me whole,
I promised the Lord, that I’d do what was right,
That’s the reason, my friend,
I wasn’t with you last night,
I’ve been a prayin’, I’ve been a prayin’.
