I go to church on a Sunday


The vows that I make, I break them on Monday

The rest of the week, I do as I please


Then come Sunday morning, I pray on my knees




Dear God, I know I'm not worthy


But I need you so please won't you hurry


And help me turn back from the path I have trod

You'll never be sorry, dear God





Each day we read in the paper

Of the carryin's on of some of our neighbors


We're sinnin' and lyin' and forgetting the faith


Then we have the nerve to ask is it too late




Dear God, I know I'm not worthy


But I need you so please won't you hurry

And help me turn back from the path I have trod


You'll never be sorry, dear God
