“If there’s a God out there

please hear my prayer.

I’m (Abm)lost and I’m scared

and I’ve (B)got no where else

to go.

I’ve come a long, long way,

but I’m not sure I can make it much far ther.

So if you’re lis (Gb)ten ing

could you give a help ing hand

to your (Gb)daugh ter?”

Well her path start ed to change.

She (Gbmaj7)reached out and grabbed God’s grace and (Abm)fi nal ly she saw a light.

Un til the night where she de cid ed one drink was al right and one (Gbmaj7)thing lead to an oth er.

The next thing you know, nine months go by, she’s
