Oh Lord above
if I just killed a man
let somebody take
the blame
Oh Lord above
if I'm kneeling down
I'm prayin' 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
oh Lord I'm pleading
with you we've 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 weren't alone
there was one more left
he took my weapon
from me put it to the test
That's when this angel
appeared out of the dark
with the devil in his eyes
but God in his heart
He slayed him 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
oh Lord I'm pleading
with you we've 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 their hands
What we gonna do now
this what I thought
but before I could say it
the angel talked
He said I'm in here for life
any way
you're only in here
for five
I'll take the blame
He said go right 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, you've 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
oh Lord I'm pleading
with you we've got some
dealings to do
before the day I'm dead
I'm prayin'
oh Lord I'm prayin'
to you to save me
from these sins weighing
down on my soul
I'm pleading
oh Lord I'm pleading
with you we've got some
healing to do
inside I'm feeling low
