Well I ran to the rock, please hide me
But the rock cried out, I can't hide you
The rock cried out, I ain't gonna hide you, guy
But the rock cried out, I can't hide you
The rock cried out, I ain't gonna hide you, guy
What's the matter with you, rock?
Don't you see I need you, rock?
Don't you see I need you, rock?
Lord, Lord, Lord
So I ran to the river, it was bleedin'
I ran to the sea, it was bleedin'
So I ran to the river, it was boilin'
I ran to the sea, it was boilin'
So I ran to the Lord, please hide me Lord
I ran to the sea, it was bleedin'
So I ran to the river, it was boilin'
I ran to the sea, it was boilin'
So I ran to the Lord, please hide me Lord
Don't you see me down here prayin'?
The Lord said, go to the devil
He said, go to the devil
So I ran to the devil, he was waitin'
I ran to the devil, he was waitin'
All on that day
I cried:
POWER!
He said, child, where were you
when you oughta been prayin'?
I said,Lord, Lord, hear me prayin'
Sinnerman you oughta be prayin'
Oughta be prayin',Sinnerman
Oughta be prayin',
All on that day.
