Adm by Wb Music Corp.- ASCAP / Johnny Yuma Music BMIMI | | coments | | The last song from "ike A Prayer" was a whispering-shouting-orgasmic-religious-backwards prayers song. A mix of spoken prayers, gospel songs and funky music confesions. Is the best way to brief all the musical and spiritual inpirations for the sound of the "Like A Prayer" album. And it that's not enough , this song is produced by "The Powers That Be" , who is.... just Prince , the brain who helped Madonna in this mad track. It was included in the "Like A Prayer" single as a b-side. | | collector items | | | Format: cd 5'' / vinyl 12'' / cassette

And the power and the glory
Forever and ever, Amen
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy... Oh my god
I am heartily sorry
For having offended thee
And I detest all my sins
Because of thy just punishment
But most of all
Because I have offended thee, oh my God
Who art all good and deserving of all my love
I firmly resolve with the help of thy grace
To confess my sins
To do penance, to amend my life | And to avoid the temptations of evil. Oh my god
I am heartily sorry
For having offended thee
And I detest all my sins
Because of they just punishment
But most of all
Because My God, I have offended thee
Who art all good
Like I knew you would
And deserving of all my love
I reserve, I reserve, I reserve
I reserve, I resolve
I have a reservation
I have a reservation What you do you mean
It's not in the computer? |

| | a very weird song |  Without any doubt! Really weird! First off all, the lyrics are a mixture of real prayers. Then at the end, Madonna is checking a reservation at some hotel, that doesn't appear in the computer. If you think that's all, try to play the song backwards and you will hear the chorus used in the "Like A Prayer" song. | | official versions | | 1.
