Subject: Lyr Req: Gospel: So Pray, My Brother, Pray
Like many of us, I love gospel songs and grew up with them in Virginia. I remember many of the songs and still sing and teach them today.

HOWEVER, there is one song that's been bedeviling my mind for months. I don't remember the title. I can remember only the chorus, both the tune and words; I can't 'hear' even a scrap of the verses. I've put every phrase into search engines, I've checked all the artists I can think of that might have recorded it, last night I even called someone in Oregon who I thought might remember it. No luck. So here's to the Cat - you've never let me down yet!

I think it's a Reno and Smiley song; I seem to hear their guitar work in it.

The chorus goes:

"So, pray, my brother, pray
Bow down on bended knee
And the Lord shall hear your humble cry
And surely answer thee."

Many t'anks.
