Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that he's a sinner, oh Lord
Help me pray
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
I want you to get together
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
And help me pray for a sinner from the ghetto, oh Lord
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
I want you to get together
Put your hands together one time
Oh Lord, help me please
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
