Looking for a Christian song by Johnny Rivers

Hey folks

You have heard of Johnny Rivers, 60`s 70`s singer, possibly best known for "poor side of town" etc

Anyway I heard this song once only probably 20 years ago now, was on a Christian rock radio program hosted by the great Skip Procock(sp) from LIGHTHOUSE...sunny days etc.

The main lyric goes like this.....LORD I AM COMING TO YOU WITH MY HEART IN MY HANDS, DONT TURN ME AWAY I DONT KNOW HOW TO PRAY.

needless to say I have done countless searches for this song on google and various forums.

ANYBODY KNOW IT??

Here is the main vs..."I am coming to you with my heart in my hands, don`t turm me away I don`t know how to pray"

I was told you guys have never failed to help someone here

Perhaps I am the first

I don't know exactly which song it is, but I think it's from the album "Not a through street". As far as I know it is his only gospel album.
Unfortunately the album is not available on CD, only on LP.

THANKS Viajero83

You are absolutely right, it`s from "NOT A THROUGH STREET" I was just reporting back to post same when I read your reply.

Yes the name of the song is "NOWHERE ELSE TO GO"

It occured to me there might be a Johnny Rivers fan club and sure enough there was. I posted my question couple days ago and got the answer yesterday.

A member of the fan club volunteered to send me a copy of the entire album, NOT A THROUGH STREET.

Hey ViaJero, how did you happen to know the song, or have you heard it?

I would be happy to share with anybody once I get it.

I used to have the album on MP3 but I lost it. I should have made a backup.
It really is a great album. So if you could send me a copy it would be great!!!
