Dear God

                                  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



[Chorus]

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 carrying on 

Of some of our neighbors

We're sinnin', and lyin',

And forgetting the faith

Then we have the nerve

To ask is it to late



[Chorus]
