Liberation kept me from my faith, my dear lord
The wings you gave me kept me from walkin' through doors, my lord
Why do my prayers go unanswered?
Oh, my dear lord?
Momma didn't deserve what you gave her, my lord

Now let's pretend, now let's pretend we're not, sinful tempted ones
If only God, if only God gave us a little more time

Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all

Our sins are purged
Our sins are purged

Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all

Our sins are purged
Our sins are purged

Oh, my dear lord!
Oh, my dear lord?
Oh, my dear lord!
Oh, my dear lord?
