Oh Lord Won’t You Give Me a New Attitude
With a nod to Janis Joplin Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth
Oh Lord won’t you give me a new attitude.
Right now people think I’m obnoxious and rude;
Help me always reflect the lovely and good.
Oh Lord won’t you give me a new attitude.
Oh Lord please give me a truly humble heart
not thinking I’m so great I don’t know where to start.
Bring me to my knees, tear my hubris apart
Oh Lord won’t you give me a true, humble heart
Oh Lord won’t you give me deep love for the lost
remembering they’re why you went to the cross.
Forbid my heart ever become like hard frost.
Oh Lord won’t you give me deep love for the lost.
Oh Lord won’t you give me a new attitude
One that is gracious and filled with gratitude
for all that you’ve done and all you’re going to do
Oh Lord won’t you give me a new attitude.
Sung to the tune of “Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.” By Michael McClure, Janis Joplin and Bob Neuwirth.
