Get Right With God lyrics
by Lucinda Williams



I would risk
The serpent's bite
I would dance
Around with seven
I would kiss
The diamond back
If I knew it
Would get me to heaven

'Cause I
Want to get right with God
Yes
You know you
Got to get right with God

I would burn
The soles of my feet
Burn the palms
Of both my hands
If I could learn
And be complete
If I could walk
Righteously again

'Cause I
Want to get right with God
Yes
You know you
Got to get right with God

I would sleep
On a bed of nails
Till my back
Was torn and bleeding
In the deep
Darkness of Hell
The Damascus
Of my meeting

'Cause I
Want to get right with God
Yes
You know you
Got to get right with God

I asked God
About his plan
To save us all
From Satan's slaughter
If I give up
One of my lambs
Will you take me
As one of your daughters?

'Cause I
Want to get right with God
Yes
You know you
Got to get right with God
