When Praying While Kneeling

when praying while kneeling
God was always appealing
(God my hand had been dealing)
(God gave me great feeling)
(God would help when we were healing)
(God was rocking and reeling)
(God my religion was revealing)
(God stopped my sinning and steeling)

idiot blooming
would go to church not grooming
found my wife fuming

in God we believe
there are those who do deceive
causing us to grieve

when the sun will set
we would fool around and fret
were deeper in debt
