Sancitified

(Album: Ronnie Milsap - 1971)

My mama told me when I was a baby child
I don't want you on the street at night out running wild
For the people of the night can turn your hip side
And lead you from the fold of the sanctified

Sanctified in soul and spirit
Sanctified within your mind
You'll find light within the darkness if you're living
Sanctified (Sanctified)

Without my really knowing time just slipped away
And the wages of my life left me with debts to pay
For I found that you must have loved to keep you satisfied
But the love I found was not the kind that sanctified

Sanctified in soul and spirit
Sanctified within your mind
You'll find light within the darkness if you're living
Sanctified (Sanctified)

Now it's many years I've wandered since I left my home
And it's many roads I've traveled lost and all alone
But I find that the way I've taken is just a one way ride
And the sinners of the world are never sanctified

Sanctified in soul and spirit
Sanctified within your mind
You'll find light within the darkness if you're living
Sanctified (Sanctified)

Sanctified in soul and spirit
Sanctified within your mind
You'll find light within the darkness if you're living
Sanctified (Sanctified)

(Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified)

(Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified)
Whooooaaaa, sanctified
(Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified)
Whooooaaaa, sanctified
(Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified) (Sanctified)
