Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Get Right With God

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

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

'Cause I want to get right with God

Yes, you know you got to get right with God

'Cause I want to get right with God

Yes, you know you got to get right with God

'Cause I want to get right with God

Yes, you know you got to get right with God
