It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer 

It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer 



Not my mother (not my father) it's me oh Lord 

Not the preacher (not the sinner) It's me oh Lord 

Standin' in the need of prayer 



It's mighty rough road - Standin' in the need of prayer 

For me to carry my load - Standin' in the need of prayer 



Help me throught the night - Standin in the need of prayer 

Show me which way's right - Standin' in the need of prayer 



I've been down so long - Standin' in the need of prayer 

I know I been wrong - Standin' in the need of prayer
