The alley where the music played
That kept me out all night
Was dimly lit and filled with smoke
I couldn’t see the light
But through the noise that filled the air
I heard a soft still voice
Son change your way and sing for me
The angels will rejoice
From the alley to the altar
Where you lifted me from sin
You stood me up and showed me how to live again
Those clubs and bars and honky tonks
That were keeping me from you
Now I lift my hands and pray dear Lord
Please draw me near to you

On sunday morn’ I went to church
It seemed I was so out of place
But the preacher told me God forgives
He’ll give you saving grace
I hit the altar on my knees
And cried please forgive my sins
I prayed dear Lord this voice is yours
I’ll never turn my back again
Now I lift my hands and pray dear Lord
Please draw me near to you
Draw me near to you
