Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
All on that day, ay
[Verse 2]
Well I run to the rock, please hide me
I run to the rock, please hide me
I run to the rock, please hide me, Lord
All on that day
[Verse 3]
But the rock cried out, "I can't hide you"
The rock cried out, "I can't hide you"
The rock cried out, "I ain't gonna hide you, guy"
All on that day
[Verse 4]
I said, "Rock, what's the matter with you, rock?
Don't you see I need you, rock?"
Lord, Lord, Lord
All on that day
[Verse 5]
So I run to the river, it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding
I run to the sea, it was bleeding
All on that day
[Verse 6]
So I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
All on that day
[Verse 7]
So I run to the Lord, please hide me, Lord
Don't you see me praying?
Don't you see me down here praying?
[Verse 8]
But the Lord said, "Go to the Devil"
The Lord said, He said, "Go to the Devil"
He said, "Go to the Devil"
All on that day
[Verse 9]
So I ran to the Devil, he was waiting
I ran to the Devil, he was waiting
I ran to the Devil, yeah, he was waiting
All on that day
[Verse 10]
I cried, power

Hey, hey
[Verse 13]
So I run to the river, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
I run to the sea, it was boiling
All on that day
[Verse 14]
So I ran to the Lord
I said, "Lord, hide me, please hide me"
"Please, please, please help me"
All on that day
[Verse 15]
He said, "Child, where where you
When you oughta been praying? Yeah"
Hey, hey
I said, "Lord, Lord, hear me praying
Lord, Lord, hear me praying
