THREE SPIRITUALS

NOTES
These spiritual arrangements are dedicated to the United Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain, Boston, where I served as gospel choir director for 6 years after graduating from college. For more information on my gospel music background, I invite you to read my bio. LYRICS
1. I' Been in the Storm I been in the storm so long, I been in the storm so long children, I been in the storm so long, oh give me little time to pray. Oh let me tell my mother how I come along, oh give me little time to pray. With a hung-down head and an aching heart, oh give me little time to pray. I been in the storm... Oh when I get to heaven, I'll walk all about, oh give me little time to pray. They'll be nobody there to turn me out, why don't you give me little time to pray. I been in the storm... 2. I Want Jesus to Walk with Me I want Jesus to walk with me, I want Jesus to walk me me. All along my pilgrim journey, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me. In my trials, Lord, walk me. In trials, Lord, walk with me. When my heart is almost breaking, Lord, I want Jesus to walk me. When I'm in trouble, Lord, walk with me. When I'm in trouble, walk with me. When my head is bowed in sorrow, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me. 3. Somebody's Knockin' at Your Door Somebody's knockin' at your door, somebody's knockin'. Somebody's knockin' at your door, somebody's knockin'. Oh, sinner, why don't you answer, somebody's knockin' at your door. Knocks like Jesus... Can't you hear him? ... Answer Jesus... Can't you trust him? ... |
