167. Standing in the Need of Prayer

Refrain:
It's me, it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.
It's me, it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.

Standing in the need of prayer.
Not my father, not my mother, but it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer. [Refrain]

Standing in the need of prayer.
Not my neighbor, not a stranger, but it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer. [Refrain]
