It made me shiver. And I about made up my mind to pray and see if I couldn't try to quit bein the kind of a boy I was and be better. So I kneeled down, But the words wouldn't come. Why wouldnt they It werent no use to try and hide it from Him .... I knowed very well why they wouldnt come. It was because my heart warn't right it was because I warn't square it was because I was playin double. I was lettin on to give up sin, but way inside of me I was holdin on to the biggest one of all. I was tryin to make my mouth say I would do the right thing and the clean thing ... but deep down in me I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie. I found that out.
