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 



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 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?
