1
Oh Lord, you know that I'm not
2
One to bother you with little things
3
And you and I have never been too close
4
But we've always been on speakin' terms
5
I've watched you with doin' things
6
And tried to understand you more than most.
7
No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to
8
But I always thought you knew
9

10
While even your own children
