Lyrics
If you pray to me, you'd better pray out loud
Don't pray to me desperate,
Don't pray to me proud
Don't pray to me lost, you will always be found
You've gotta crawl down upon your knees on the stony ground
Don't pray to me weak if your spirit is strong
Don't stand up with the righteous when you know you've done wrong
Don't stand there as if defeated, not making a sound
You've gotta crawl down upon your knees on the stony ground
And that ground's gonna hurt like you've never hurt before
There'll be blood on your shoes when you walk to my door
But don't pray to me clean, just pray that I'm home
Cos I'm here for you, sinners,
But I won't be for long
So if you're running to me, you better crawl on your hands
You better crawl on your belly or I won't understand
You're a powerful man,
But I'm bigger than you
You've gotta fall down upon your knees and crawl on through
And that ground's gonna hurt like you ain't ever hurt before
There'll be blood on your shoes when you walk to my door
But don't pray to me clean, just pray that I'm home
Sing on out to me, sinners
Cos I won't be for long...
