"Get Right With God" lyrics

"Get Right With God"
(originally by Lucinda Williams)

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

'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I want 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

'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I want to get right with God

I would sleep on a bed of nails
'Til my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meeting

'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I want to get right with God

I asked God about his plan
To save us all from Satan's slaughter
If I gave 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 know I got to get right with God
'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I got to get right with God
