Sometimes I Pray

Sometimes I pray when I'm happy, sometimes I pray out of woe
Sometimes I pray cause I'm lost and alone and there's no other place left to go
Sometimes I pray for victory, sometimes I pray for peace
Sometimes I pray for things that I want, sometimes things that I need

Sometimes I pray cause I'm lonely, sometimes I pray cause I'm not
Sometimes I pray for just one at a time, sometimes I pray for the lot
Sometimes for needs of others, sometimes for needs of my own
Sometimes I pray about folks far away; sometimes folks right at home

But God knows the cries of the heart, God knows what we mean
It may not be what we ask or think but it's better than our best dream
God knows the cries of the heart, like only God could know
God hears the sighs of the heart and the prayers that God answers are those

Sometimes I pray when I'm helpless, sometimes I pray when I'm proud
Sometimes I pray way down deep in my heart and sometimes I pray right out loud
Sometimes I pray when I'm righteous, sometimes I pray when I fall
Sometimes I pray every chance that I get, sometimes don't pray at all

Sometimes I pray cause I wonder, sometimes I pray cause I know
Sometimes I pray and I mean it, sometimes it's all just for show
Sometimes I pray for mercy, sometimes I pray for love
Sometimes I pray about things here below, sometimes things up above

But God knows the cries of the heart, God knows what we mean.
It may not be what we ask or think but it's better than our best dream
God knows the cries of the heart, like only God could know
God hears the sighs of the heart and the prayers that God answers are those
