If I Could Pray - Haroula Rose

If I could pray just a little bit longer

My spirit would sleep with ease

If I could sing just a little bit louder

I’d make all the fear disappear

If I could let my laughter linger

It might reach the ends of the Earth

If I would have just a bit more faith

I’d know where my soul will go someday

Maybe I can learn to praise on high

If I could only find some time

Perhaps I’d end up where the good ones belong

If God could only hear this song

Well could I believe in a hero?

Would he have the strength to fly?

With buildings to cross

And smog in his lungs

Would he ever even reach the sky?

If I wasn’t so plagued with doubt

If I could see what Heaven’s all about

Your way is what I would choose

I just need a little bit more proof

Maybe I can say hallelujah

Maybe someday I will see a sign

But there’s not a moment to read or to write

In this city full of dreams and lights

Yes I will confess

I’ve thought too often of myself

But why was I made this way?

Left in doubt

Waiting for your grace

Lord, how can I pray to you

When there’s so much to do?

Maybe you can relate

Cuz you must be busy every day

Please Lord you can’t blame me

Cuz I’m doing the best that I can

I know I’m no good

But I wrote this song

If you’d hear it

You’d understand

If only you’d hear me

If only you’d understand
