lyrics

did I find trouble
or did it find me?
I came up short
but I didn't come up weak
it's out of my hands
there's nothing I could have done differently

and I know there's no way around it
all I can do it hold my chin up
take a deep break walk a slow line
till I'm safe and sound

well it don't make much sense to me
but grandma put it through the prayer chain
soon my troubles will be history

midwestern prayer chain
it's gonna save me
their sending their sweet Jesus's arms around me
I'm gonna be well
in a speedy recovery
all because the midwestern prayer chain cares about me
they care about me

oil my head
wash my feet
read that book
circle when he speaks
forgive my sins
consecrate all my heart to thee

still I know there's no way around it
even if I spread the good news
plant a few seeds
save a few lives from the constant drowning

it don't make much sense to me
but now that it's tethered to the prayer chain
soon my troubles will be history

midwestern prayer chain
it's gonna save me
their sending their sweet Jesus's arms around me
I'm gonna be well
in a speedy recovery
all because the midwestern prayer chain cares about me
they care about me
midwestern prayer chain
it's gonna save me
all because the midwestern prayer chain cares about me
they care about me
care about me
they care about me
