Analysis of O Lord
If I am wrong Lord;
I won't put up a fight
But gently nudge me Lord
To the left or the right
And I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord
Help me to judge Lord
This world that I see
Without condemnation Lord
‘Less I'm condemning me
And I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord
I am a man Lord
Like the smoke of a fire
I have no delusions Lord
My element won't expire
So I'll fall down on my knees; Lord
And I'll beg forgiveness please; Lord
