I found faith in the pouring rain
I found faith in a sweet refrain
I found faith in the sermoneer
Until assured I could persevere
I found the Lord when I could not see
Or could it be that the Lord found me
(Chorus)
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don't take me, I ain't ready to go
When I'm ready I will let you know
But I ain't hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no courage
I found myself where I found no faith
So strange that I believe as soon as I'm in need
And don't know what to do
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don't take me, I ain't ready to go
When I'm ready I will let you know
But I ain't hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no religion
I found the Lord in a selfish prayer
In the waiting room for purgatory
The martyrs claim we're bound for glory
That's me and you
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don't take me, I ain't ready to go
When I'm ready I will let you know
But I ain't hanging out in limbo
