[Verse 1]
  D*                         G
I found myself seated in the line of fire,
D                                   A
that ole' Preacher man sure had the holy power.
         D                             G
With his Bible he read my life like he knew it well,
           D**         A**                D***
the more I put up my defense, the more conviction fell.

[Chorus]
         D                               G
I took a walk, I took a walk down to the altar that night,
           D                                    A
I knelt in prayer, I knelt in prayer, I cried I want to make things right.
               D                                  G
What they were singing slips my memory, there's a lot I can't recall,
    D                              A**              D           G
but I won't forget the mercy and I won't forget the walk.

[Verse 2]
        D*                            G
As they opened up the hymn book and begin to sing,
  D                                       A
a cloud of Joy filled the building like a covering.
         D                        G
With the invitation given, sinner won't you pray,
    D**             A**               D***
the more I tried to leave, the more I couldn't get away.

[Chorus]
         D                               G
I took a walk, I took a walk down to the altar that night,
           D                                    A
I knelt in prayer, I knelt in prayer, I cried I want to make things right.
               D                                  G
What they were singing slips my memory, there's a lot I can't recall,
    D                              A**              D           G
but I won't forget the mercy and I won't forget the walk.

[End-Chorus]
         D                               G
I took a walk, I took a walk down to the altar that night,
           D                                    A
I knelt in prayer, I knelt in prayer, I cried I want to make things right.
               D                                  G
What they were singing slips my memory, there's a lot I can't recall,
    D                              A**              D
but I won't forget the mercy and I won't forget the walk.
    D                              A**
But I won't forget the mercy and I won't forget the [Outro] walk.
