While the blood is running warm in your veins
While the blood is running so warm in your veins
You had better get religion
And you'd better try, try to serve the Lord
While the blood, the blood is running warm
So warm in your veins

Mm, now don't forget about your savior
While traveling through this awful land
For he's always willing to help you
And then he'll lead you, oh, a happy land
For he bore, he bore the pain of death
Lord, while he rocked you, yes he did, upon his breast

Mm, while the blood, while the blood is running so warm
So warm in your veins

I don't believe you know what I'm talking about
I'm gon' say it again
While the blood, the blood is running so warm
So warm in your veins

Oh, while the blood, while the blood is running so warm
So warm in your veins
Do you know, one Friday morning, do you believe that I
I got religion, and I'm gon' stay right here
I'm gonna serve the Lord 'til my dying day
Lord, while the blood, hey, hey, hey
Oh, is running so warm, so warm
Warm in your veins
