An homage to the early gospel blues pioneers, such as Blind Willie Johnson and Rev Gary Davis.
lyrics
I went down to the altar,
Fell down on my knees (x2)
And I cried "Lord have mercy,
Saviour, rescue me"
I went down (x3)
I lay down all my sorrows,
All my shame and sin (x2)
And I sang "Alleluiah, Jesus is my king."
I lay down (x3)
I got up, up from the altar,
Got my soul washed clean (x2)
And I sang "Alleluiah, Jesus set me free"
I got up (x3)
Come on down, down to the altar,
Come and get set free (x2)
Come and cry "Lord have mercy"
Come and cry "Lord have mercy"
Come and cry "Lord have mercy
Jesus set me free"
Come on down (x3)
