THE RICH MAN'S PRAYER 120511 - RED DIRT DIARY

Uploaded .
3
60

When it becomes apparent that the poor inheriting the earth means they become dirt when they die,

The Rich Man’s Prayer - Em to D

I kneel down on a calloused knee
Hold my children close to me
And I pray The Rich Man’s Prayer

It’s not one that Jesus spoke
That one turned into a joke
So I pray The Rich Man’s Prayer

Not the prayer that Jesus said
Not, “This day our daily bread.”
No, no, I pray The Rich Man’s Prayer
God only answers The Rich Man’s Prayer

I kneel down on a calloused knee
Draw my children close to me
And I pray The Rich Man’s Prayer
God only answers The Rich Man’s Prayer

How old is that song? Was rhatvwritten from a personal stance if I may? LeAnna LeAnna M Christian Overall good song; performance and production JMT - I wrote/recorded this in 2011. Just looking at the poor man's perspective, (which I have knowledge of) noticing no matter how much he prays he's still poor. "Must be the wrong prayer."

Okay, I need words and chords for this one, I like it. It sounds like something I've heard before, but I know I haven't, which is a good thing.
