Please do it on your knees

Please Do It On Your Knees

Well, I hear people who are talkin’
about people most everywhere I go—-
To hear them tell it they were there when it
happened, there’s nothin’ that they don’t know.
Well, you may not approve of the things I do
but if you’re gonna talk about me,
make sure what you’re sayin’ is done while
you’re prayin’—and please do it on your knees.

The Book says brothers will love one another
but love doesn’t need any words.
It’s proven by the things we do and not say —
for actions speak louder than words.
There will always be people who will talk about people
but if you’re gonna talk about me,
then tell it to Someone who can do somethin’ about it
and please do it on your knees.

You can tell God all the things I’ve done
that didn’t seem right to you,
but don’t tell your neighbor ’cause
he can never give me the grace to see me through.
You can tell Him all about how weak I am
and pray that He’ll strengthen me–
you can talk about me any time you wanna
but please do it on your knees.
