Take A Minute to Pray

I met a priest that promised me salvation,
but only for a two-dollar tithe.
I never promised much to a sinner,
but I promised this one I would try.

Chorus:
Take a minute to pray.
Take a minute to pray.

My best friend he thought he wasn't feeling well,
lately he'd been losing some weight.
He went and seen the doctor, doctor said,
"Let me introduce you to aids. Boy, you better..."

Chorus

A little girl, she's lost in the city.
All the pushers look upon her as prey.
The painted ladies trying to adopt her;
Mom and Dad, they're trying to swallow the blame.

Chorus

Once upon a time cries a little boy,
bound to four wheels all of his life.
Miracles, they don't come easy but
that little boy wished on one star twice.
Now he's walking, can't stop talking
'bout that H-O-P-E paying off nice.

He took a minute to pray, He took a minute to pray,
Thank God he took a minute to pray.
I took a minute to pray. I took a minute to pray.
Thank God I took a minute to pray.
Won't you take a minute to pray.
