The Night I Learned How Not To Pray - (6:14) - 3,338 playsLyricsI was laying on my belly on the middle of the living room floor
I was watching Howdy Doody so I’m guessin’ it was right around four
When I saw my baby brother tumblin’ from the top of the stairs
He was lying limp and silent and the blood was tricklin’ through his shiny hair
When my mom saw little brother, she said “Hon, you’d better run and get your dad.

The Kingdom Has Already Come - (4:40) - 2,980 playsLyricsI stopped in the church to pray, It was the middle of the day
And I don’t even know if I believe in God But I laid my soul on the table
And left that place believing I was able to pull back the curtain my old fears had drawn
I was out on the fourth of July when I saw those kids I just had to cry
The whole town was blazing in the summer’s heat
