White Knucklin' The Rosary

Don't even try to tell me what prayer is for
 My Genie in a bottle needs to give me some more
 And when this mess is over-I don't need Him anymore
 I'll put my God back on temporary ignore
 If you will do what I need you to do
 I'll find some time to praise you when this whole thing is through
 If you get me out of this, Oh great Almighty
 I promise I'll never do it again-well maybe...
 I get along fine most of the time
 No thought for thanks or blessings sublime
 When turmoil breaks through the shell of my comfort
 My lack of a prayer life abort
 White knucklin the rosary
 I know my God by what He does for me
 Open only in case of emergency
 White knucklin the rosary
 When turmoil breaks through the shell of my comfort
 My lack of a prayer life abort
 An acrostic for prayer that I learned as a kid
 Praise and repentance, ask for others, yourself
 But now in my lackluster state of affairs
 Give me what I ask for-beyond that who cares?
 White knucklin the rosary
 I know my God by what He does for me
 Open only in case of emergency
 White knucklin the rosary
 Pray without ceasing-give thanks for all things
 A prayer life that's missing the joy that can bring
