I would risk the serpent's bite
i would dance around with seven
i would kiss the diamondback
if i knew it would get me to heaven
Refrain:
'cause i want to get right with god
yes, you know you got to get right with god
I would burn soles of my feet
burn the palms of both my hands
if i could learn and be complete
if i could walk righteously again
Refrain:
'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
Refrain:
'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
Refrain:
'cause i want to get right with god
yes, you know you got to get right with god
