Prisoner's Prayer
- © Music by Numlocq - © Lyrics by J Stephenson -
| This is no way for it to be
For man he should be free Sleep comes to me, but slowly Pray these words, these words are Holy
Chorus Pray it good, pray it right Say one for me tonight
May the Scriptures bring me peace And talk of solace brings release They lead me evermore to God It does not seem so very odd Chorus His gift to me is very clear Feel the presence drawing near Giving mercy and redemption Gives it now without exemption Chorus Caress me, put me at my ease My jailers may do what they please I know no harm can now befall me Now my Angel, now she calls me Chorus

Prisoner's Prayer was inspired by the writings of the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy to the author Anne Rule whilst he was awaiting his fate on death row. Whether he actually found his God or indeed whether anyone prayed for him is uncertain. What we do know is the majority of the American population celebrated his death at the hands of "Old Sparky" |
