White Knucklin' the Rosary Lyrics

[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick]

Don't even try to tell me what prayer is for
My genie in a bottle needs to give me some more
And when this mess is over - I don't need Him anymore
I'll put my God back on temporary ignore

If you will do what I need you to do
I'll find some time to praise
You when this whole thing is through
If You get me out of this, Oh great Almighty
I promise I'll never do it again - well maybe...

I get along find most of the time
No thought for thanks or blessings sublime
When turmoil breaks through the shell of my comfort
My lack of a prayer life abort

[Chorus]

I know my God by what He does for me
Open only in case of emergency

[Chorus]
White knucklin' the rosary
An acrostic for prayer that I learned as a kid
Praise and repentance, ask for others, yourself
But now in my lackluster state of affairs
Give me what I ask for - beyond that who cares?

[Chorus]
White knucklin' the rosary
I know my God by what He does for me
Open only in case of emergency

[Chorus]
White knucklin' the rosary
Pray without ceasing - give thanks for all things
A prayer life that's missing the joy that can bring
