I am just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood (Note 1).

Prayer, whether overt or silent, is never wasted and never misunderstood by God. He sees your heart and hears your prayers.

Note 1: This familiar pop hit was written in 1964 by Bennie Benjamin, Horace Ott and Sol Marcus for vocalist and pianist Nina Simone. The Animals cover in 1965 became an international hit reaching top 20 lists throughout Europe and North America.
