Have you said the sinner’s prayer? If not, do it on a dare! Your heart does not matter, just open your mouth and chatter Sin is not important, just say the words – the rest is unimportant! I’ll even think for thee; just say this prayer after me! This mantra is our way; it’s our spray and pray! Join our fray and don’t forget to tithe, this is the method we’ve devised Now I add another chalk mark, unaware you’re living in the dark To my pastor I’ll proclaim all I’ve done today: brought in a dozen more strays! I’m not sure why they don’t stay, it must be the pastor’s fault anyway. A gospel easy to believe, just be open to receive My pastor says I’ve got it wrong; I should open my bible before too long Maybe I’ll find another church instead, surely he misread Now I’m gone and his church flourishes, converts true who get their nourishment I opened my bible today; perhaps I’ve led them astray I hope I can undo all of this; is it too late for their bliss?

Sinner’s prayer
Have you said the sinner’s prayer? If not, do it on a dare! Your heart does not matter, just open your mouth and chatter Sin is not important, just say the words – the rest is unimportant! I’ll even think for thee; just say this prayer after me! This mantra is our way; it’s our spray and pray! Join our fray and don’t forget to tithe, this is the method we’ve devised Now I add another chalk mark, unaware you’re living in the dark To my pastor I’ll proclaim all I’ve done today: brought in a dozen more strays! I’m not sure why they don’t stay, it must be the pastor’s fault anyway. A gospel easy to believe, just be open to receive My pastor says I’ve got it wrong; I should open my bible before too long Maybe I’ll find another church instead, surely he misread Now I’m gone and his church flourishes, converts true who get their nourishment I opened my bible today; perhaps I’ve led them astray I hope I can undo all of this; is it too late for their bliss?
