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.

1 Not my brother, not my sister, but it's me, O Lord,
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]

2 Not the preacher, not the deacon, but it's me, O Lord,
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]
