Pray, a Peg Rewrite

I took the song “Peg” by Steely Dan and re-wrote the lyrics to reflect a different subject: prayer. Here 'tis:


Pray
I’ve got the picture
Your heart is full of trouble
You don’t know what to do
Well, I’ve been there with you
And while I know you’ve got questions
I think I’ve got the answer
Pray

You’ve taken your shot
Paul tells us in his letter
When you are feeling blue
The Lord’s a strength for you
And while I know you’ve got questions
I think I’ve got the answer

Pray
He wants to hear from you
Pray
His love will see you through
When
You’re at wits end
You’ve still got one friend
And He’s listening from Heaven

You’ve taken your shot
Paul tells us in his letter
When you are feeling blue
The Lord’s a strength for you
And while I know you’ve got questions
I think I’ve got the answer

Pray
He wants to hear from you
Pray
His love will see you through
When
You’re at wits end
You’ve still got one friend
And He’s listening from Heaven


During the chorus, the backing vocals add "Wits End", "One Friend", "Hea-ven". If you listen to the song you'll here where those parts go.
