[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.
