"Say A Prayer" lyrics

I can't say the devil never gets the best of me
That I don't struggle with the man I used to be
And I can't say I don't get tempted, can't say I don't get scared
But I can close my eyes, and I can say a prayer

Can't say I've earned forgiveness or God's grace
Or that I deserve to see those pearly gates
I can't say the life I've lived down here is worthy of up there
But I can close my eyes, and I can say a prayer

I can give it all to God
No matter where I am or what I've done
I know He'll never stop loving me or being there
Yeah, He can do it all, and I can say a prayer

Can't say that I'm the perfect husband to my wife
Lord knows that I fall short with my kids all the time
Can't say I'll ever be a father like the one they've got upstairs
But I can close my eyes, and I can say a prayer

I can give it all to God
No matter where I am or what I've done
I know He'll never stop loving me or being there
Yeah, He can do it all, and I can say a prayer

When the ground around me's shaken
When this heart of mine is breaking
When the world just keeps on taking
And life just don't seem fair
When there's nowhere left to run to
When there's no one else to turn to
When I can't find the answers anywhere
I can say a prayer

I can give it all to God
No matter where I am or what I've done
I know He'll never stop loving me or being there
Yeah, He can do it all, and I can say a prayer
He can do it all
And I can say a prayer
