Lecrae - Prayin’ for You lyrics

Father, God I–I'm prayin' to you for
Somebody who knows You, Lord
But just haven't–hasn't been seein'
You in the right view lately hear me out

Father, I'm prayin' for a friend
He and I are pretty close
And out of all my friends for
This one I'm concerned the most
He say he readin' daily
But he ain't really learnin'
He been in church but say that
He ain't moved by any sermon
His faith's weak, he ain't prayed in a week
He wake up and just weep with
His face in the sink, lord
You gotta help my man
I'm prayin' for him daily
He ain't sinned but it just seem
As if he goin' crazy
He say he feelin' trapped
Can't even hit up the mall
'Cause every lady's half-dressed
Temptin' him to lust and fall
He keep the TV off
Videos just make him feel like he
Ain't really nothin' without money, girls
And shiny wheels
The other day he told me that he felt less
A man 'cause he ain't have a 5-year plan
Or a piece of land and, man
It's crazy 'cause his family thinks
So much of him plus he got a godly wife who
Always show her love for him
But he's strugglin'
Even though he talk to me
I tell him what to do but he
Don't listen when he oughta be
I'm scared for him 'cause there's people
That look up to him
He got some younger siblings
Who've been changed
By what he's done for them

But is it done for him?
Lord, don't let it be
If he don't wanna talk to You then, Father
Hear from me is it done for him?
Lord, don't let it be
If he don't wanna talk to You then, Father
Hear from me

Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, uh, yeah
I'm prayin' for you
Uh, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
Yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you

God, his condition has worsened since
We was last conversin'
I'm with him now, he ain't doin' well
Of this I'm certain
He say he tryna trust You
Doesn't wanna disgust You
But he was in the midst of
Sinners and did not discuss You
And just today his anxiety's got
The best of him he knows Christ
But for hours refused to rest in Him
He's not the best of men, but Lord
I know he really loves You
And I can't understand why lately
He's not thinkin' of You
People trust this dude
You could crush this dude
Father he needs more of You
I pray You touch this dude
What can I say to him? I'm
Determined to pray for him
Father empty and break him
I pray You'll just have Your way with him
'Cause there's a change in him
And the effects are strong
I pray You'll open up his
Heart before the next song
And when he gets home
I pray he'll open up the sixty-six book love
Letter You wrote and soak it up
'Cause he ain't hearin' You
And he ain't feelin' me
And God I know it's killin' You
Because it's killin' me
And matter of fact there's
Something else he's concealin', see
The person that I've been prayin'
About is really me

Yeah, I'm prayin' for you, uh, yeah
I'm prayin' for you
Uh, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
Yeah, yeah, I'm prayin' for you
