Dear God, it's me again
I'm writin' You tonight
Same way I always do
I ain't hidin' the truth
Yeah, my life ain't pretty
Sometimes I get mean
Just prayin' I can heal
From the things I've seen
So, I'm talkin' at the ceilin
In the middle of the night
Just lookin' for a reason
Not to give up the fight
I ain't cursin' at Your name
I ain't sayin' that You're wrong
I'm just writin' these prayers
With no return address on 'em
Some days I write You sorry
Some days I write You sad
Some days I write You scared
And some days I write You mad
Sometimes I just say"I'm tired"
And leave my prayers right there
I don't know what this silence means
Are You listenin' close or even there
Still talkin' at the ceilin
In the middle of the night
Just lookin' for a reason
Not to give up the fight
I ain't cursin' at Your name
I ain't sayin' that You're wrong
I'm just writin' these prayers
With no return address on 'em
If You're testin' my faith
Lord, You're sure cuttin' it close
If You're teachin' me patience
I'm failin' that the most
I ain't walkin' away
Ain't slammin' that door
I'm just standin' here knockin
Like I've done many times before
I ain't cursin' at Your name
I ain't sayin' that You're wrong
I'm just writin' these prayers
With no return address on 'em
I ain't cursin' at Your name
I ain't sayin' that You're wrong
I'm just writin' these prayers
With no return address on 'em
