Unholy Prayer
Ten years ago
Before I knew love
I walked down the aisle
Dressed white as a dove
Daddy said love
You must take his hand
We've nothing left
I've done all I can
Johnny made vows
But his word were a lie
I played my role
And tried not to cry
Nine months later
Our daughter arrived
She was too small to breath
My heart barely survived
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care
Johnny drinks in the day
And he drinks through the night
I hold my tongue
Cause I'm never right
Takes what he wants
No matter the cost
I brace myself
When he gets cross
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care
The man down the lane
With sweet silver eyes
Hand grazes mine
And brushes my thigh
When Jack holds me close
I can't feel the fear
Each loving kiss
Undoes the years
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I've tasted nothing as sweet as his skin
His hair in my fingers, his kisses so fair
I look to your cross and I pretend to care
I look to you cross and pretend to care
Before I knew love
I walked down the aisle
Dressed white as a dove
Daddy said love
You must take his hand
We've nothing left
I've done all I can
Johnny made vows
But his word were a lie
I played my role
And tried not to cry
Nine months later
Our daughter arrived
She was too small to breath
My heart barely survived
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care
Johnny drinks in the day
And he drinks through the night
I hold my tongue
Cause I'm never right
Takes what he wants
No matter the cost
I brace myself
When he gets cross
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Jack looks to your cross and pretends to care
The man down the lane
With sweet silver eyes
Hand grazes mine
And brushes my thigh
When Jack holds me close
I can't feel the fear
Each loving kiss
Undoes the years
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I opened the door and let him slip in
A ring on my finger but his is bare
He looks to your cross and pretends to care
Oh Father Lord forgive my sin
I've tasted nothing as sweet as his skin
His hair in my fingers, his kisses so fair
I look to your cross and I pretend to care
I look to you cross and pretend to care
