You Can Never Pray Enough

You look and see the shape the world is in
You're so afraid any day it's going to end
Let me let you in on a secret friend

You can never PRAY enough

You're asking me if that helps
I'm asking you if not then what else
As the world around you quickly melts

You can never PRAY enough

The moral collapse of society 
The putrid air that we all breathe 
Needs that drive us to our knees

You can never PRAY enough

The knuckle heads that are in charge
The loony's running freely in the yard
The very best in get well cards

You can never PRAY enough

Even when it's all running smooth
Be it Latitude or Longitude
Word of mouth or in the news

You can never PRAY enough

My advice to those out there
Retirement age or Kinder care
Here or there or anywhere

You can never PRAY enough

You've expressed my own thoughts, Mike. This is a great reminder for us to have a relationship with the best Friend we can have.
