[Verse 1]
I would risk that serpent's bite
I would dance around with seven
I would kiss that diamondback
If I knew it would get me to Heaven

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I want to get right with God

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause you know I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I want to get right with God

[Verse 3]
I would sleep on a bed of nails
'Til my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meetin'
[Chorus]
'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I gotta get right with God

[Verse 4]
I asked God about His plan
To save us from Satan's slaughter
If I gave up one of my lambs
Will you take me as one of your daughters?

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I gotta get right with God
Yes, I want to get right with God
Yes, you know, you know I gotta get right with God
