Using lines from The Prayer That is In My Blood

by Gary Copeland Lilley

 

When he finally arrives at the pearly gates my, my,

he‘s gonna bribe St. Peter with a Five.

If the saint doesn’t take his five dollars, or his word,

he may attempt an inappropriate prayer,

or present a tally to the Lord,

a list all the things he could not have

when he was the one without mercy.

his complaints go on and on

Oh, how they turned on me.
