[Verse 1]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 3]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
O Lord, O Lord
What should you do?
[Verse 4]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 5]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
O Lord, O Lord
What should you do?
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes under your door
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the devil calls your cards
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 3]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When your water turns to wine
O Lord, O Lord
What should you do?
[Verse 4]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When you can’t play God no more
O Lord, O Lord
What shall you do?
[Verse 5]
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
Tell me what you’re gonna do
When the shadow comes creepin’ in your room
O Lord, O Lord
What should you do?
