The Singing Cookes Lyrics
"While I Was Praying"

Let Me Tell You A Story
From The Good Books I've Heard
Bout Private Daniel What He Had To Do
When Th' Prince Of The Air Had Hindered His Prayer
For Twenty-one Days Every Morning, Noon And Night
Ol' Daniel Prayed With All Of His Might
So Don't Give Up Child Of God
An' You Too Can Say

While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down
10,000 Angels Were Camped All Around
I Thought I Would Throw Up My Hands
To My Praying Place That's Where I Ran
An' While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down

I've Troubles Here In This Wicked World
Throwin' My Mind Into A Whirl
Satan Tells Me To Stop An' Rest
While On My Way My Troubles Here
They Can't Compare To Th' Joy
That I Find When I Kneel In Prayer
For Down On My Knees Ol' Satan Flees
While Jesus Comes Down

While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down
10,000 Angels Were Camped All Around
I Thought I Would Throw Up My Hands
To My Praying Place That's Where I Ran
An' While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down

I Thought I Would Throw Up My Hands
To My Praying Place That's Where I Ran
An' While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down

An' While I Was Praying Jesus Came Down
