Prayer for an Innocent Man
Prayer for Redemption: A Soul's Plea for Deliverance
Lyrics
Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice
Expressing a plea for divine justice, asking the Lord to listen.
Can't you hear my cry for help
Seeking divine assistance, a cry for help directed to the Lord.
Try to heed my honest prayer
Asking the Lord to consider an earnest and sincere prayer.
And judge me in my favor
Requesting a favorable judgment from the Lord.
'Cause you know my heart
Asserting the sincerity and purity of the speaker's heart.
You have come to me at night
Recalling a divine encounter at night.
But it's so hard to speak no evil
Expressing the difficulty of avoiding wrongdoing.
In a hole deprived of light
Describing a challenging situation, symbolized by a dark hole.
So I pray for you to answer
Requesting a response from the Lord and a comforting presence.
And to turn to me and smile
Desiring a positive reaction from the Lord, seeking approval.
Shower me with love to save me
Asking for divine love to overcome inner struggles.
From demons deep inside
Seeking protection from inner demons through divine intervention.
Protect me as you would your own eyes
Requesting divine protection comparable to safeguarding one's own eyes.
In the shadows of your wings
Describing a desire for shelter within the metaphorical wings of the Lord.
And learn to know the sound that echoes
Encouraging recognition of the significance of an innocent man's voice.
When an innocent man sings
Highlighting the unique sound when an innocent man sings.
When an innocent man sings
Reiteration of the impact of an innocent man's song.
When he sings
Emphasizing the act of singing by an innocent man.
So I lie with all my failures
Admitting to personal failures and lies, possibly to oneself.
Praying to my best friend's ghost
Praying to a departed friend's spirit, seeking guidance.
Time to kneel instead of sitting
Expressing a willingness to humble oneself before the divine.
And let me do thy bidding
Pledging to carry out the Lord's commands and wishes.
Won't you let me do thy bidding yeah
Reiterating the desire to fulfill divine bidding.
Help me do thy bidding
Seeking divine assistance and guidance in fulfilling one's duties.
