There's something we need to do

Pray for the fish,

they won't know what's comin'
B A E
when then sins start rollin' off the likes of him
B A E
Lord be with 'em they ain't done nothin'

Please won't you leave 'em

just a little bit of room to swim

Pray for the fish

Well the preacher ducked him under
A E B A E
that cool clear water, then he did it again

Eddy came up yelling, "Oh Lord in Heaven,

Hallelujah, I'm a brand new man"

and the thunder backed up the choir

it was like they were swimmin' in a lake of fire
