[Verse 1]
I go to church on a Sunday
The vows that I make
Break 'em on Monday

Rest of the week
I do as I please
Come Sunday morning
I pray on my knees

[Chorus]
Dear God
I know I'm not worthy
But I need you so
Please won't you hurry?
Help me turn back from the path I've trod
You'll never be sorry, Dear God

[Verse 2]
Each day we read in the paper
Of the carryings-on
Of some of our neighbors

The sinning and lying
Forgetting our faith
We have the nerve to ask
"Is it too late?"
[Chorus]
Oh dear God
I know I'm not worthy
I need you so
Please won't you hurry?
Help me turn back from the path I've trod
You'll never be sorry, Dear God

You'll never be sorry
Dear God
