Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice 
Can't you hear my cry for help 
Try to heed my honest prayer 
And judge me in my favor  
 
'Cause you know my heart 
You have come to me at night 
But it's so hard to speak no evil 
In a hole deprived of light  
 
So I pray for you to answer 
And to turn to me and smile 
Shower me with love to save me 
From demons deep inside  
 
Protect me as you would your own eyes 
In the shadows of your wings 
And learn to know the sound that echoes 
When an innocent man sings 
When an innocent man sings 
When he sings  
 
So I lie with all my failures 
Praying to my best friend's ghost 
Time to kneel instead of sitting 
And let me do thy bidding 
Won't you let me do thy bidding yeah 
Help me do thy bidding
