White Knucklin' The Rosary Lyrics - Tourniquet

Don't even try to tell me what prayer is for 

My Genie in a bottle needs to give me some more 

And when this mess is over-I don't need Him anymore 

I'll put my God back on temporary ignore 

If you will do what I need you to do 

I'll find some time to praise you when this whole thing is through 

If you get me out of this, Oh great Almighty 

I promise I'll never do it again-well maybe... 

I get along fine most of the time 

No thought for thanks or blessings sublime 

When turmoil breaks through the shell of my comfort 

My lack of a prayer life abort 

White knucklin the rosary 

I know my God by what He does for me 

Open only in case of emergency 

White knucklin the rosary 

When turmoil breaks through the shell of my comfort 

My lack of a prayer life abort 

An acrostic for prayer that I learned as a kid 

Praise and repentance, ask for others, yourself 

But now in my lackluster state of affairs 

Give me what I ask for-beyond that who cares? 

White knucklin the rosary 

I know my God by what He does for me 

Open only in case of emergency 

White knucklin the rosary 

Pray without ceasing-give thanks for all things 

A prayer life that's missing the joy that can bring
