Now the Lord, he'll forgive you for cheating

And the Lord, he'll forgive you if you lie

But he sure frowns down soundly on you and I

Now the Lord  he's known, and for his kindness

He's always willing to set a sinner free (set a sinner free)

He'll save your soul and he'll make you whole

But I don't see no angels comin' down

Shinin' their light on you and me.
