If the devil decided to pray
Would it be on a Sunday
Early in the morning
When the church bells toll
Would he get the calling
And rise from his falling
And get back in the home
He left so long ago
Would God be listening
To his pleading
And remember
All the singing
Before his friend
Cast the first stone
What if God decided to stay
And not change his ways
Would he leave the locks
On heavens door
Would he build the wall taller
And not even bother
Because he’s heard
This prayer before
But if God was listening
And not resisting
He’d find
What was missing
From his words
Left in stone
If the devil decided to pray
Would it be on a Sunday
Early in the morning
When the church bells toll
Would he get the calling
And rise from his falling
And get back in the home
He left so long ago
