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 

(Chorus:)
'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?
