dion baker - the prayer lyrics
in the name of allah, the infinitely good most comp-ssionate
all praise is due to you lord of everything that exists…
guide us along the straight path… looking in the past
thankful that your mercy prevails over your wrath
cause i’ve been in one too many situations…
been aware of tribulations by your grace i escaped them…
circ-mstances never swallow us, not with you guiding us through this world of dust
but it’s up to us to follow up
cause you never lead us in the wrong direction…
i submit to your infinite perfection
you’re my guardian and my protection i’m shielded by your wisdom…
i ask that my sins be forgiven
and that we increase in taqwa, ’cause there really is no might or power…
unless it’s with you allah subhannahu’wa’ta’ala…
kneeling on the ground… i testify shahada…
and reaffirm the peace and blessings unto all the prophets…
(hook)
if the world were against me, they’d harm me none
only god can remove through his will not us
if the world did support me, i wouldn’t gain a thing
only god is the giver and provider that brings
if the world were against me, they’d harm me none
only god can remove through his will not us
so through his will it will be come, or never be
only god’s the sustainer that can benefit me…
in the name of allah, the infinitely good most comp-ssionate
all praise is due to you lord of everything that exists…
guide us along the straight path… i know i’ve fallen off…
but proceeded to carry on walking on
despite, many nights only you would know about
shadowed in doubt, suicidal thoughts acted out
but i know now what it was all about…
you carried me through the rain to wash my impurities out
i stood in amazement when the day hit
sun beams blazed on the pavement drying the tears from my face and
spiritual fort-tude was strengthened
you tell us that you wouldn’t give us a particular burden if we couldn’t take it…
and i’m a testament to that very message you gave us…
living proof that we’re in the hands of the creator…
i tell the angels on my side -ssalamu alaik-m
this is my prayer to god, guide us on the path that’s straighter…
(hook)
do you believe in the books and god’s revelations?…
do you believe in angels and divine predestination?
prayer opens up the lines of communication
between me and the greatest the one and only maker
no intercession is needed i need only proclaim it…
every step, every breath, every exhalation
peel the layers of deceit covering my heart…
reveal my true self to me from whom who i’ve grown apart…
peel the layers of deceit covering my mind
keeping the light of wisdom from penetrating deep inside…
take the covering away from my ears
so i can listen to reality for how it appears
wash my heart in the waters of his mercy
any dirt seen gets cleaned in the river of the worthy
to purify internally, prostrate externally and verbally
but inwardly i pray to you eternally…
(hook)
