Tis' the hour of the day
when the christian people say
to Adonai, "may I be forgiven?"

But in an hour or two
as the Christian folk do
I'll be back to my easy livin'

Lord grant me the strength
to yearn for your shield
Please allow me the light to see
and give me the nerve
to love those I serve
keep me on the path, this I plea

Not because I you should
but because you are good
should you act on the prayers I pray
and when i am done
when my battles are won
the following words shall I say:

Hallelujah, praise the Lord!
more than worthy is the Lord of praise!
May I forever sing songs
of the one who stayed strong
may I rejoice in the Lord all my days!
