Chris' prayer: Kirk Franklin's "Jesus Paid it All"

For about a good minute of this song, toward the end, the women are singing what I think is "white" over and over again. I'm not really sure, but that's what it sounds like. They are, in effect, ad-libbing over the music in harmony, and it sounds really strange, but there is something beautiful about it as well.

I struggle to ad-lib my prayers sometimes when I'm praising. We'll come to the end of a song and the music leader will say, "Just sing whatever you want." Sometimes, I'm able to comply, but there are many times where I'm just not sure what to say. I think I get so caught up in trying to say something, that I don't really think about what is on my heart, about what I really want to tell Jesus in that moment. It is then that I don't sound beautiful at all...at least I don't think I do.
