1974. The year I found God. And lost him.

"Yes! Yes!" I cried, I wept. "Yes!"

Won't you make him your saviour too.

Lettin' Christ into my heart? I didn't even know the man.
And then summer came, and the fervor died, and the following year I fell in love with the red-haired boy two rows over, and that was much less painful.
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
and filled with the Holy Ghost I am
I been redeemed by the blood of the lamb
