Sleep won't come though the sun's goin' down
Watchin' those ceilin' fan blades spin 'round

I bow my knee by the bed to pray
A still, small voice - I heard God say, ay ay....

You gotta start your day ev'ry mornin' in prayer
To tie the loose ends of a-life's de-spair

Lean on the Lord in puzzlin' times
When life pre-sents no reason or rhyme

You gotta hold on tight to your thread of hope
When you feel you're at the end of your rope

Call on the Lord to solve life's riddle
And it won't get tangled in the middle

Tryin' to survive all the crooks and straights
Too much stress and you'll rattle and break

I can't overcome what I don't understand
So I'm stayin' linked to the one who can
(To the one who can)

You gotta start your day ev'ry mornin' in prayer
To tie the loose ends of a-life's de-spair

Lean on the Lord in puzzlin' times
When life pre-sents no reason or rhyme

You gotta hold on tight to your thread of hope
When you feel you're at the end of your rope

Call on the Lord to solve life's riddle
And it won't get tangled in the middle

Well Adam and Eve really had it all
Life's gotten tangled since man's first fall

Then Jesus rose and the life-line came
Strong holds break when you speak his naaame

You gotta start your day ev'ry mornin' in prayer
To tie the loose ends of a-life's de-spair

Lean on the Lord in puzzlin' times
When life pre-sents no reason or rhyme

You gotta hold on tight to your thread of hope
When you feel you're at the end of your rope

Call on the Lord to solve life's riddle
And it won't get tangled in the middle

You. got. to. start your day ev'ry mornin' in prayer
To tie the loose ends of a-life's de-spair

Lean on the Lord in puzzlin' times
When life pre-sents no reason or rhyme

You gotta hold on tight to your thread of hope
When you feel you're at the end of your rope

Call on the Lord to solve life's riddle
And it won't get tangled in the middle

And it won't get tangled in the middle
