While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister

While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me

When we gather round a brother, who is lying on a bed of pain

Where praying Lord wont you lift him up, and take his burden away

Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister

While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me

For the children caring for their parents, for the mother worrying about her child

Were praying Lord wont you lift them up, and give them peace for awhile

Lord have mercy on the children

Lord have mercy on the parents

While i'm praying for all of these

Lord have mercy on me

When Im calling Lord, Lord, I wont be calling in vain

When the waters of trouble ae rising up, Im calling your name

Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister

While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me
