Lyrics for Song: Sinner Kneel Down and Pray
Lyrics for Album: Singing on Sunday [1962]
(John Bailes)
If from the past you have gone astray
And at times you cannot see the way
Can't you hear the Lord he's calling you today
Oh, sinner kneel down and pray.
Oh, sinner just kneel and pray
The Lord will hear your prayer today
Oh, sinner kneel down and pray
Pray to the Lord your soul will be saved.
--- Instrumental ---
You may not have a friend in our wicked world of sin
If you turn to Jesus he'll take you in
Won't you listen to me just listen when I say
Oh, sinner kneel down and pray.
Oh, sinner just kneel and pray
The Lord will hear your prayer today
Oh, sinner kneel down and pray
Pray to the Lord your soul will be saved...

Sinner Kneel Down and Pray
Kitty Wells delivers a powerful gospel-infused country recording on her 1962 album Singing on Sunday. The track blends traditional religious themes with her signature vocal style, characteristic of the early 1960s Southern gospel and country crossover movement. Wells' emotive delivery transforms the song into a compelling narrative of spiritual reflection and penitence, showcasing her ability to navigate sacred texts within a secular musical framework. This recording stands as a significant example of her early work, where she seamlessly integrated gospel influences into her country repertoire, influencing subsequent artists who sought to bridge the gap between church and country music. The song remains a testament to her versatility and the enduring appeal of her unique vocal approach during this pivotal era in American music history. |
