Satan is a liar and a conjure too
If you don't watch (mind) out
He'll conjure you
If I could I sho'ly would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
(chorus)
Ezekiel said he saw him
Wheel in the mid' of a wheel
John talked about him
Book of the seven seals
Some say the Rose of Sharon
Others say the Prince of Peace
But I can tell everybody (this ol'
world)
He's been a rock and a shelter for
me
Hallelujah
(chorus)
You can call my rock in the mornin'
Call him late at night
He's always with me
And all my battles He'll fight
When I'm in trouble
I can call him on the line
He put a telephone in my heart
And I can call God anytime
Hallelujah
(chorus)
"Without A Song"
Without a song
Day would never end
Without a song
The road would never bend
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never see a plow
That field of corn
You know, would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
I got my troubles and woes
But long as I know
The Jordan rolls
For I'll get along
Just as long as a song
Is strong in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
And I'll never know
What makes the grass grow tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song
"Move On Up A Little Higher"
One a-these mornings
Soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening
Late in the evening
I'm going home to live on high
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in Glory

"How I Got Over"
How I got over
How I got over
You know my soul looks back and wonder
How I got over
(rpt)
Soon as I can see Jesus
The man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
Hung on Calvary
I'm gonna thank him
For how he brought me
I'm gonna thank God
For how he taught me
Yes, thank my God for how he kept
me
I'm gonna thank him 'cause He never
left me
I'm gonna thank God for ol' time religion
I'm gonna thank Him for giving me
a vision
I'm gon' join the Heavenly choir
And I'm a-sing and never get tired
I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round God's
alter
And I'm a-shout all my troubles over
Lord, we got to thank you
Thank you for being so good to me
(chorus)
I'm gon' wear a di-garment
In that New Jerusalem
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
In that homeland of the soul
I'm gonna view the hosts in white
That been traveling day and night
Coming up from every nation
On their way to the great coronation
Coming from the north, south, east,
and west
On their way to a land of rest
Lord, we gonna join the heavenly choir
We gon' sing and never get tired
Lord, we gon' sing somewhere 'round
your alter
And we gonna shout all our troubles
over
Lord, we gotta thank you
Thank you for being so good to me
Hmmm, I wanna thank you, this morning
I wanna thank you, Lord, this morning
You know all, all night long
You kept your angels watching over
me
And you told your angels this morning
You told your angels, Lord, this morning
You said, "Touch her, in my name"
You said, "Touch her, in my name"
And I rose, I rose this morning
Lord, I rose, I rose this morning
With the blood, blood running warm
All in my veins, Oh Lord
Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, you know I feel, feel like running
Lord, Lord, I feel, I feel like running
Lord, I wanna thank you
Thank you, thank you for being
So good to me
"The House I Live In"
What is America to me?
A name, a map, the flag I see
A certain word, 'democracy'
What is America to me?
The house I live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
And the people that I meet
The children in the playground
THe faces that I see
All races, all religions
That's America to me
The place I work in
The workers at my side
The little town, a city
Where my people live and die
The howdy and the handshake
The air of feeling free
And the right to speak my mind out
That's America to me
The things I see about me
The big things and the small
The little corner newsstand
And the house a mile tall
The wedding in the church yard
The laughter and the tears
The dream that's been a-growing
For one hundred and fifty years
The town I live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of a city
Of a garden all in bloom
The church, the school, the clubhouse
The million lights I see
But especially the people
That's America to me
"How Great Thou Art"
Oh, Lord, my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all, thy world thy hands
have made
I see the stars and I hear the rolling
thunder
Thy power throughout the universe
displayed
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(rpt 2 times)
"Come On Children, Let's Sing"
Come on children, let's sing
About
the goodness of the Lord
Come on children, let's shout
All about God's great (rich) reward
Guide our footsteps everyday
Keeps
us in this narrow way
Come on children let sing
(Come on children, let's shout)
(How the Lord Almighty)
(Has brought
us out)
(There's none like him)
(Without a doubt)
Come on children, let's sing
About the goodness of the Lord
He has been my all and all
He will never let, let me fall
That is why I can sing
That is why I can shout
Because I know what it's all about
The goodness, goodness of the Lord
The Lord, the Lord
(chorus)
"Didn't It Rain"
Didn't it rain, chirrun
Talkin' bout rained
Oh,
my Lord
Didn't it
Didn't it
Didn't it oh, oh my Lord
Didn't it rain?
(repeat)
Rained 40 days and 40 nights without stopping
Noah
was glad when the rain stopped dropping
Knock at the window, knock at the door
Crying brother Noah can't ya take on
more
Noah cried no, you're full of sin
God got the key and you can't get in
Just listen how it's rainin'
All day and all night...
etc...
God sent a raven to spread the news
Hoist his wings
and away he flew
To the north, to the south
To the east, to the west
All day, all night
All night, all day
water
rising...etc
"If I Can Help Somebody"
If I can help somebody
As I travel
along
If I can help somebody
With a word or song
If I can help somebody
From doing wrong
My living shall not
be in vain.
My living shall not be in vain
My
living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody
While I'm singing this song
My living shall not be in vain
