Jailhouse Prayer

from WATER OF TEN by Robb Cairns

/

lyrics

JAILHOUSE PRAYER copyright ROBB CAIRNS

Good Lord, I'm a sinner
And I don't have much worth
But please see me thru this life on this earth.
I don't have no Bible
And I don't need no beads
All I need it to kneel down at your feet.

MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE
YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE
LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN
THAT LAND, UP ABOVE.

Good Jesus, I'm worried
I'm lonely and I'm cold
Please bring salvation to my soul
I've heard about Moses
Ezekiel and John
But they didn't live in a world
With so much going on.

MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE
YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE
LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN
THAT LAND, UP ABOVE.

Good Lord, please forgive me
For the things I have done
I didn't mean to shoot him
With a bullet from my gun.
They say they might hang me
Only time will tell
But please Lord, please save me
I don't want to burn in hell.

MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE
YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE
LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN
THAT LAND, UP ABOVE.
