Lord, I hope this day is good,

I'm feeling empty and misunderstood.

I should be thankful Lord I know I should,

But, Lord, I hope this day is good.



Lord have you forgotten me I've been prayin' to you faithfully

I'm not saying am a righteous man

But Lord I know you'll understand.



I don't need fortune and I don't need fame,

Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain.

But when you're planning just how it will be,

Plan a good day for me.



Lord, I hope this day is good,

I'm feeling empty and misunderstood.

I should be thankful Lord I know I should,

But, Lord, I hope this day is good.

You've been the King since the dawn of time,

All that I'm asking is a little less cryin'.

It might be hard for the devil to do,

But it would be easy for you...



Lord, I hope this day is good,

I'm feeling empty and misunderstood.

I should be thankful Lord I know I should,

But, Lord, I hope this day is good.
