as i sat at home with my troubles today i was tempted to walk the wrong way i remember the voice that once led me from sin and i heard the same voice again don t go don t go don t go don t go don t go back to the tavern and sin don t go don t go don t go don t go don t go back and start drinking again i could hear lots of laughter just over the way my friends sounded happy and gay i started to walk but my knees gave away as i fell i heard the voice say don t go don t go don t go don t go just kneel by your bedside and pray don t go don t go don t go don t go god will answer your prayers today instrumental god freed me from sin like he did once before now i m happy as a man can be god s voice sounded pleased as he spoke the next words god must have seen a great change in me go on go on go on go on ask your friends there to kneel down and pray go on go on go on go on ask god will answer their prayers today
