I found myself
seated in the line of fire
That old preacher man sure
had the holy power
With his Bible he read my life
like he knew it well
The more I put up my defense,
the more conviction fell
And I took the walk
I took the walk down to the altar that night
I knelt to pray
I knelt to pray and I cried out
I wanna make things right
What they were saying
slips my memory
There's a lot I can't recall
But I won't forget the mercy
And I won't forget the one
As they opened up the hymn book
and began to sing
Quite a joy filled the
building like a covering
With the invitation in the center
won't you pray
The more I tried to leave
the more I couldn't get away
I took the walk down to the altar that night
I knelt to pray, I knelt to pray, and I cried,
I wanna make things right
What they were saying
slips my memory,
there's a lot I can't recall
But I won't forget the mercy,
and I won't forget the wall
And I took the walk down
to the altar that night
I knelt to pray, I knelt to pray and I cried,
I wanna make things right
What they were saying
flips my memory,
there's a lot I can't recall
But I won't forget the mercy,
and I won't forget the one
But I won't forget the mercy
and I won't forget the
I won't forget,
I won't forget the war
