Lyrics
It don't take much for me to get in trouble
say something I will regret
I've got a real sharp tongue It can wound anyone
I struggle to forgive and forget
so I pray (I Pray) for some mercy
and through grace my eyes could see
I pray for the day when I can love somebody
the way that you love me
yeah, the way that you love me (I pray yeah)
It don't take much for me to judge a brother
I can make sinner out of a saint
but when I condemn the man I don't understand
I reveal more of my own complaint
It don't make much for me to gossip and slander
and defame the name of some poor child
yeah I'm shallow and I'm weak I got a real mean streak
there's a longer list that you could compile
It don't take much for me to be self righteous
and look down my nose at everyone
but I'm a poor disguise for the holy and wise
a mere candle compared to the sun
