I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made hate
I love my God
god made hate
I love my God
God made good
I love my God
God made good
I love my God
God made bad
I love my God
God made me, yeah
But I don't want to pray to my maker
I just want to be what i see
Not just who I am but the pink and darling man
And a five mile sky over me
Help me to the sun, hey i'm looking everywhere
See i'm looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now don't want to pray (no)
I say I don't want to pray (no)
And now I don't want to pray (mhmm)
I don't want to pray
I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made good
I love my God
God made hate
I love my God
God made bad
I love my God
God made, God made
But I don't want to pray to my maker
I just want to be feeling free
Not like in a book or the leaves and trees that shook
From a word that means only not a thing
Pardon pardon mom
What i'm saying isn't fair
See i'm looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray (no)
I say I don't want to pray (no)
Hey uh I don't want to pray (no)
You don't want to pray
Not much good to talk here oughta walk it
Not much good to take that out of you
We are born from giving in from guarding our sins
Yeah i promise you my friends
All the dies will live again
Guarding guarding mom
What i'm saying isn't fair
See i'm looking to become not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray
You say I don't want to pray
Oh now I don't want to pray
You don't want to pray
I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made love
I love my God
God made hate
I love my God
god made hate
I love my God
God made good
I love my God
God made good
I love my God
God made bad
I love my God
God made me
