Johnny Q. Public - As I Pray lyrics

Stay here and keep watch over me as I pray

My soul is overwhelmed, death becomes me

Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation

The spirit is willing, but the body is weak, so weak

I fall to my face in the garden

-CHORUS-

Father keep me in Your presence

Don't let me fall away

For my lack of understanding

is impatient and demanding

and asking why this way

As I pray

My friend, do what you came here for

Then desert your faith

pass me into the hands of sinners

With a kiss I am betrayed

I am betrayed, I am betrayed

(repeat CHORUS)

Life is why I have to die today

Life's why you won't take this cup away, away

I'm strong, death can't overwhelm me

As I pray

Life is why I have to die today

Life's why you won't take this cup away, away

But I'm strong, death can't overwhelm me

As I pray
