Prayer For The Gun Lyrics

Solo Prayer For The Gun

On the horizon of desert sand
Surrounded by devout naked land
We drove out early before the dawn
Waited silent for things to come

And what followed looked like the sun
Was a prayer for the gun

Before the earth moved there was the sound
Dark billows rose over holy ground
I was tempted to look right in
Where He could withstand I pledged to sin

And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun

As the spirit sent him out to do what he has done shouting kingdom come!
I fell down upon my knees to meet my maker with a plea to make it all undone

And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun
