Working Prayer Lyrics - Mac Mcanally

I want to believe 

I have something more to offer 

I don’t want to grieve 

When the harvest has been weighed 

When it’s time to leave 

Don’t want to overstay my welcome 

And I want to sleep 

In the bed that I have made 

When they lay me down 

And put a marker on that ground 

Let some good things grow around me there 

That’s my working prayer 

I want to look back 

And still keep on moving forward 

Whatever I lack 

I want to make up for somehow 

And when I get off track 

I want to find a way back on it 

I want to be smack 

In the middle of here and now 

When they lay me down 

And put a marker on that ground 

Let some good things grow around me there 

That’s my working prayer 

I want to make a case 

For all of my uncounted blessings 

A little extra grace 

For my friends and family 

Tell it to my face 

Anything that I need telling 

I want to leave a better place 

Than the one first given me 

When they lay me down 

And put a marker on that ground 

Let some good things grow around me there 

That’s my working prayer
