Bended knee...
Nine years old...
Waiting for...
Just one word
I was thinkin' of all the things
My daddy told me of
Sin & salvation &
Manhood & dignity
All that time...
In the dark...
Just one word...
Backslider
I remember the day I stepped into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
& pushed my head under
& said...
Son I am...
So proud
Just one word...

Well I opened my eyes
as my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
& thought I saw Jesus
& then...
Well I threw up my hands
& I heard, Amen
& I prayed, sweet Jesus
Don't let me become a backslider
