Little Altar Boy
I wonder could you pray for me
Little altar boy
for I have gone astray
what must I do to be holy like you
little altAr boy
please let me hear you pray
Lift up your voice and send a prayer above
help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
now I know my life has been all wrong
little altar boy
please help a sinner be strong
little altar boy
I wonder could you tell Our Lord
tell Him altar boy I'm gonna change my ways today
what must I do to be holy like you
little altar boy
please let me hear you pray
little altar boy
please let me hear you pray
