Learned To Pray

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Chorus

My father read the words aloud

Warnings upon a wicked town

He read until the sun went down

And every word shook holy ground

My father read the words aloud

Oh the things that scroll would say

I dropped my pride and learned to pray

Verse 1

I was young and I was sure

Nobody's judgment falls on me

Then the pages turned like weather

And the truth came rushing through the leaves

My knees hit the dirt that evening

I couldn't argue anymore

I felt the fire of a mercy

That was burning down my door

Pre-Chorus

So I listened

Yes I listened

Every warning every line

Chorus

My father read the words aloud

Warnings upon a wicked town

He read until the sun went down

And every word shook holy ground

My father read the words aloud

Oh the things that scroll would say

I dropped my pride and learned to pray

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Wo wo wo

Oh-oh

Let it call me home

Verse 2

Captive hearts and captive cities

Swords and sorrow all around

But a promise ran beneath it

Like a river underground

I said Father I am listening

I said Father make me new

There's a road that leads to morning

And I'm walking it with you

Pre-Chorus

So I follow

How I follow

Every warning every line

Chorus

My father read the words aloud

Warnings upon a wicked town

He read until the sun went down

And every word shook holy ground

My father read the words aloud

Oh the things that scroll would say

I dropped my pride and learned to pray

Bridge

Weep for the city

Weep for the soul

Weep till the weeping turns to gold

Turn from the ruin

Turn to the light

Turn till the morning fills your eyes

Chorus

My father read the words aloud

Warnings upon a wicked town

He read until the sun went down

And every word shook holy ground

My father read the words aloud

Oh the things that scroll would say

I dropped my pride and learned to pray

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Wo wo wo

Oh-oh

Let it call me home

Oh-oh

Wo wo wo

Let it call me home
