Standing in the need of prayer john p kee lyrics

It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer
It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer

Not my mother (not my father) it's me oh Lord
Not the preacher (not the sinner) It's me oh Lord
Standin' in the need of prayer

It's mighty rough road - Standin' in the need of prayer
For me to carry my load - Standin' in the need of prayer

Help me throught the night - Standin in the need of prayer
Show me which way's right - Standin' in the need of prayer

I've been down so long - Standin' in the need of prayer
I know I been wrong - Standin' in the need of prayer

This is a spiritual / gospel hymn about the human need to pray.

The composer and author are unknown, but it is probably from  Afro-American traditions.
