Bended knee |
|
Nine years old |
|
Waitin' for... |
|
Just one word! |
|
I was thinkin' of all the things |
|
My daddy told me of |
|
Sin and salvation and |
|
Manhood and dignity... |
|
All that time |
|
In the dark |
|
Just one word... |
|
Backslider! |
|
I remember the day |
|
I stepped |
|
Into the water |
|
My daddy held me in his hands |
|
And pushed my head under |
|
And said... |
|
Son I am So proud. |
|
Just one word... |
|
Backslider! |
|
Well I opened my eyes |
|
And my daddy held me in his hands |
|
I looked up through the water |
|
And thought |
|
I saw Jesus, and then... |
|
Well I threw up my hands! |
|
And I heard, |
|
Amen! And |
|
I prayed, sweet |
|
Jesus Don't let me become a backslider! |
