I said, "I'm scared"
Lord, I'm scared, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

I'm scared, Lordy Lord
I'm shakin', I'm petrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

Heard the choir singin'
Something about goodwill toward men
And sleepin' in heavenly peace

Stopped by to see Saint Thomas
On a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Something in the air was, oh, so rare
I'm not really sure what it was
But I think it might still be there

And that's why I'm scared
Lordy Lord, I'm scared, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

I'm scared, can't you hear me?
I'm just shaken, I'm petrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

Heard the choir singin'
Something about goodwill toward men
And even sleepin' in heavenly peace

Stopped by to see Saint Thomas
On a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Something in the air was, oh, so rare
I don't know what it was
But I know for sure that it's still right there

And I'm scared
Hey, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

Oh, and I'm scared Lordy Lord
Can't you hear me shaken? I'm petrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call

C'mon now, give me a sign your listening now

I'm scared, you know I'm shakin'
I'm layin' awake thinking about it, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough wait for you to call

I can't think about it no more
You hear me talkin', you hear my cryin'
I'm staying awake wonderin', I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear you call
