[Chorus]
Pray on my child (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yes, I got a home on high)
[Verse 1]
You know I've been talked about (sure as you're born)
I need Jesus (Jesus to carry me on)
Oh, if I never (Never did see you anymore)
Wonder will you meet me? (Meet me on the other shore)
[Chorus]
Pray on (pray on, my child)
Oh yeah (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yes, I got a home on high)
Pray on my child (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yes, I got a home on high)
[Verse 2]
You know I've been talked about (sure as you're born)
And I need Jesus (Jesus to carry me on)
Oh, if I never (never see your smiling face)
I wanna be saved (savеd by grace)
[Chorus]
Pray on (pray on, my child)
Oh yeah (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yеs, I got a home on high)
[Bridge]
I remember the day, remember it well
(Pray on, just pray on)
When you saved my soul from burning hell
(Pray on, you just pray on)
You can talk about me as much as you believe
(Pray on and just pray on)
But the more you talk the more I'm gonna bend my knee
(Pray on and just pray on)
[Chorus]
Pray on my child (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yes, I got a home on high)
[Verse 1]
You know I've been talked about (sure as you born)
And I need Jesus (Jesus to carry me on)
Oh, if I never (never did see you anymore)
Wonder will you meet me? (meet me on the other shore)
[Coda]
Pray on (pray on, my child)
Pray on (pray on, my child)
Pray on (pray on, my child)
If your mother don't pray (pray on, my child)
You pray on (pray on, my child)
Father don't pray (pray on, my child)
Pray on (pray on, my child)
If your friends talk about you (pray on, my child)
You, you pray on (pray on, my child)
[?] heaven (pray on, my child)
You pray on (pray on, my child)
And when you get lonely (pray on, my child)
When you get lonely (pray on, my child)
Said when you get lonely (pray on, my child)
Oh, when you get lonely (pray on, my child)
Don’t stop praying (pray on, my child)
And you might get weary (pray on, my child)
And you might get tired (pray on, my child)
Said you might get tired (pray on, my child)
But you, you pray on (pray on, my child)
Oh yeah (pray on, my child)
I got a home on high (yes, I got a home on high)
