Lyrics

The lyics of the Wildwood Boys version of the song are;

Not my brother, not my sister, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
Not my brother, not my sister, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,

Not the preacher, not the sinner, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
Not the preacher, not the sinner, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,

Not my mother, not my father, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
Not my mother, not my father, but it's me oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,

It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer,
It's me, it's me, it's me, oh Lord,
Standing in the need of prayer
