STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER

1 'Tain't (It ain't) the preacher, or the deacon,
But it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.

CHORUS:
It's me, it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.
It's me, it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.

2 'Tain't (It ain't) your father, or your mother,
But it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.

3 'Tain't (It ain't) your sister, or your brother,
But it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.

4 'Tain't (It ain't) your friend, or your neighbor,
But it's me, O Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer.


from Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, volume III, #637 C
'Standing in the Need of Prayer.' from Julian C. Boyd, Alliance, Pamlico County C. 1927-28.
