Once upon a time in my life I had a calling inside my heart It made me feel so good inside I wished that God and I would never part Pure and innocent I was benevolent I piously prayed for His blessing I never refused Him, not even for a moment Knowing all the graces that His love could bring Jesus is the name of the game Practice Him and you'll feel good Got nothing to lose but more to gain If you drink the cup of His blood As you partake of His body while you cleanse Your body of sin and disease Forgive as you will be forgiven Let the good exist and let the evil cease Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! (Yahweh, I know you are near) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! (Standing always at my side) There came a point and time in my life That I felt I was truly wicked Spiritually dead though physically alive My environment was the baddest of the bad I was an altar boy who served on Sundays While every week I used to confess Went to school from Monday to Friday Receiving communion was the best But I discovered it was more easy To be a sinner than a saint I used all the pleasures just to please me I even made Jesus use the pain I forgot all about Him even His name I lived the fast life of lust and greed In search of fortune, power and fame Not knowing it will make us all bleed Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! (Yahweh, I know you are near) Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! (Standing always at my side)
