Song Text

‘Tis me, me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.
‘Tis me, me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.

Not my Deacon, not my Elder, but it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.
Not my sister, not my brother, but it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.

‘Tis me, me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.
‘Tis me, me O Lord,
Standin’ in de need of pray’r.
