DEAR GOD
(V F "Pappy" Stewart)

as recorded by Patsy Cline
1958


I go to church on a Sunday,
The vows that I make, I break them on Monday!
The rest of the week I do as I please,
Then come Sunday morning I pray on my knees!

Dear God, I know I'm not worthy,
But I need you so, please won't you hurry
And help me turn back from the path I have trod;
You'll never be sorry, dear God!

Each day, we read in the paper
Of the carrying on of some of our neighbours.
We're sinnin' and lyin' and forgetting the faith,
Then we have the nerve to ask, "Is it too late?"!

Dear God, I know I'm not worthy,
But I need you so, please won't you hurry
And help me turn back from the path I have trod;
You'll never be sorry, dear God!
