I'm gonna go to a higher power
I'm gonna go straight to the Lord
He comforts me in my waking hours
Watch over me if You please, if You please

When I awake on Sunday morning
I see the sun shine through the trees
It causes me to be humble
Watch over me if You please, if You please

Take me to that higher power
And let the light shine over me
All my years, all my sorrow
Set me free if You please, if You please

All my life, You have followed
Every step, every day in the arm of Your power
Watch over me if You please, if You please

I'm gonna go to a higher power
I'm gonna go straight to the Lord
He comforts me in my waking hours
Watch over me if You please, if You please

I'm gonna go to a higher power
I'm gonna go straight to the Lord
He comforts me in my waking hours
Watch over me if You please, if You please
