Sitting on the front porch with my sweet Marilade
Working out expenses, no honest man can pay
One is from the landlord, the bank done sent me two
And as for me, I know down deep what I got to do
Famine or feast, I'm on my knees
Searchin' for the answers to things I can't see
Times of jubilation waiting for release
Time we all pray to the Lord, famine or feast
Things have happened lately, my car is in the shop
Riding on the cross-town, almost at the stop
Staring out the window into the night outside
I have to tell you honest now, I sat right there and cried
Famine or feast, I'm on my knees
Searchin' for the answers to things I can't see
Times of jubilation waiting for release
Time we all pray to the Lord, famine or feast
You may say time to pray is every now and then
I tell you twice, Jesus Christ
He no fair-weather friend, he's no fair-weathered friend
My best friend's a doctor, how he has been blessed
Drives a new Mercedes and always has the best
But Thursday nights you'll find us, studying God's word
We both have our reasons for praying to the Lord
Famine or feast, I'm on my knees
Searchin' for the answers to things I can't see
Times of jubilation waiting for release
Time we all pray to the Lord
Famine or feast, famine or feast
Time we all pray to the Lord
Famine or feast
