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
