Lyrics

Verse I:
Gather round the gravel
Wash my clothes on the rocks
Metaphorically,
I'm giving all I've got
See past the trees
Water's in the distance
Find out what happens
with discipline and persistence
I believe, I'm gon' make it
I trust, I will
When the hard times come
I know the deal

Chorus:
Because I pray
Instead of worry
I know how the story ends
Because I pray
Instead of worry
Gratitude in the middle of whirlwinds
Because I pray
Because I pray

Verse II:
Bills late
And car's breaking down on me
Have you been here before?
Troubles they don't
last always
But when they're here
They're hard to ignore
Two months in the hole
And my boss is on a roll
Makes it hard to
relax and breathe
But I've survived worse
And this ain't the rehearsal
Worry
might as well leave

Chorus II:
Because I pray
Instead of worry
I know how the story ends
Because I pray
Instead of worry
Gratitude in the middle of whirlwinds
Because I pray
Because I pray

Bridge:
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry, no more
This is my affirmation
For when I'm struggling to stay patient
Waiting on the miracle to walk through the door

Chorus III:
Because I pray
Instead of worry
I know how the story ends
Because I pray
Instead of worry
Gratitude in the middle of whirlwinds
Because I pray
Because I pray
