Lucinda Williams - Get Right with God Lyrics

Get down with him

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
