What good am I - if I'm like all the rest
If I just turn away - when I see how you're dressed If I shut myself off - so I can't hear you cry What good am I? What good am I - if I know and don't do If I see and don't say - if I look straight through you If I turn a deaf ear - to the thundering sky What good am I? What good am I - while you softly weep And I hear in my head - what you say in your sleep And I freeze in the moment - like the rest who don't try What good am I? What good am I? What good am I then - to others and me If I've had every chance - and yet still fail to see With my hands tied must I - not wonder within Who tied them and why - and where must I have been? What good am I if I say foolish things And I laugh in the face - of what sorrow brings And I just turn my back - while you silently die What good am I? What good am I? What good am I? |

When I close my eyes, so I would not see,
My Lord did trouble me. When I let things stand that should not be, My Lord did trouble me. Did trouble me, With a word or a sign, With a ring of a bell in the back of my mind. Did trouble me, Did stir my soul, For to make me human, to make me whole. When I slept too long and I slept too deep, Put a worrisome vision into my sleep. When I held myself away and apart, And the tears of my brother didn't move my heart. Did trouble me, With a word and a sign, With a ringing of a bell in the back of my mind. Did trouble me, Did stir my soul For to make me human, to make me whole. And of this I'm sure, of this I know: My Lord will trouble me. Whatever I do, wherever I go, My Lord will trouble me. In the whisper of the wind, in the rhythm of a song My Lord will trouble me. To keep me on the path where I belong, My Lord will trouble me. Will trouble me, With a word or a sign, With the ringing of a bell in the back of my mind. Will trouble me, Will stir my soul, For to make me human, to make me whole. To make me human, to make me whole. |

Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man I had a steady job, til I started into drinking And I started making music that went with the devil's band Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again If I give my soul, will he cleanse these clothes I'm wearin' If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking If I give my soul, will my son love me again If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again |

[Chorus]
Ain't no grave gonna hold this body down There ain't no grave gonna hold this body down When I hear the trumpet sound Gonna get up outta the ground Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down You said go down yonder Gabriel Place your foot on the land and sea But don't you blow that trumpet until you hear from me [Chorus] Oh, look way over Jordan What do you think I see I saw a band of Holy Angels and they're comin' after me I cried meet me Jesus meet me Meet me in the middle of the air I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord and I'll say goodbye down here [Chorus] One day if they carry me out to the graveyard Like my grandma like my grandpa And they lay this body down Don't cry for me Church-don't cry for me |
