Don't Knock
02:30
|
|||
|
You don’t knock, don’t knock just walk on in. The door to heaven’s gate, there’s love and joy for you to share the whole day through. I know my friends are there to rest in heavens nest. You don’t knock, ring, push a hole. The doors wide open waiting for your soul. You don’t knock, you just walk on in.
I’ve walked night’s winding road, trying to rid this load
Traveled both night and day so tired could hardly pray
Jesus my light and my guide, he’s forever by my side
So I’m walking and a knocking into heaven with pride
I have no need to fear, He is ever near
He’ll know my work was true, so glad the day is through
It wasn’t for me to say, didn’t think I made my way
So I’m walking and knocking into heaven, goodbye.
You don’t knock you just walk on in.

You Are Not Alone
03:57
|

|
You’re not alone, I’m with you, I’m lonely too
What’s that song: can’t be sung by two
My broken home, a broken heart, isolated and afraid
Open up this is a raid, I want to get it through to you, you’re not alone.
You’re not alone, every night; I stand in your place. Every tear, on every face, tastes the same
My broken dream, a broken heart, isolated and afraid
An open hand, an open heart. There’s no need to be afraid
I want to get it through to you
You’re not alone
Gonna get it through to you, you’re not alone.

Downward Road
03:08
|
|||
|
The downward road is crowded, well it’s crowded, yes it is, crowded. The downward road is crowded with unbelieving souls!
Young people who delight in sin. Telling you what I‘ve plainly seen
Poor and godless woman died, she didn’t have Jesus on her side
She Laughed and played her time away. Still put off her dying day
The lord all mighty had his plan all fixed
Friday morning the woman took sick
Well she called her mother to her room to listen to her dying dooms
Your prayers are lost, you pray for me ma, my soul is doomed I can plainly see
So mother and father fair thee well your wicked daughter’s doomed to hell

In Christ there is no east or west, no north or south
Only one great love, inside and out
True hearts everywhere, some deaf, and some blind
Singing one melody, lost souls cannot find
Join hands and have faith
Whatever your race may be: Who serves my father and the son, he surely came to me
In Christ no need for east or west
There is No black or white, only one great love, hatred cannot divide
Forgive your enemies, surely were all a part of one big family
Whatever your race may be: who serves my father and the son, he surely came to me
Forgive your enemies, surely we all are a part of one big one big family

Creep Along Moses
02:57
|
|||
|
Didn't old pharoah get lost, get lost, get lost Didn't old pharoah get lost, yes, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea.
Ol' Satan wears an old iron shoe Tryin' to cross the Red Sea, If you don't mind he’ll slip it on you Tryin' to cross the Red Sea. I wonder what the Devil keeps grumblin' about, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea, He's down in Hell and can't get out, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea
Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along, Creep along Moses, I thank God. Creep along, Moses, Moses creep along, Creep along Moses, I’m going home
I went down in the valley an' I didn't go to stay, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea, My soul got happy an' I stayed all day, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea.
I went down in the valley to offer up prayer, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea, When I got there, ol' Satan was there, Tryin' to cross the Red Sea. And I fell down upon my knees Tryin' to cross the Red Sea. Cried ‘Lord have mercy, if you please’

Losing You
02:51
|
|||
|
Was a fool with my money And I lost every dime And the sun stopped shining And it rained all the time It did set me back some But I made it through But I’ll never get over losing you
Do you know how much you mean to me? Should’ve told you ‘cause it’s true I’d get over losing anything But I’ll never get over losing you
When you’re young And there’s time To forget the past You don’t think that you will But you do But I know that I don’t have time enough And I’ll never get over losing you
I’ve been cold I’ve been hungry But not for awhile I guess most of my dreams have come true With it all here around me No peace do I find ‘Cause I’ll never get over losing you No, I’ll never get over losing you

Last Train
04:29
|
|||
|
Last train a-running between the water With a power line Last train a-running around the hill Last train a-leaving on the quarter Hour time Last chance to cast your last thread
Thisa world is getting so much faster It’s too sad For a train a-going down slow
And I forgot to leave her, oh with the laughter It’s too bad When it's in my nature to lay low
You got me huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train A huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train Hissing and kissing and missing like a beau coup brain Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train
Just like the engine at the junction, feeling down My head is wondering where to go
And you’ve a got so many different trips you know My face is wondering where to show
Just like the engine at the junction, feeling down My head is wondering where to go

Only The Lord Knows
03:43
|
|||
|
When I get feeling, hurting and reeling
Get so sad I go to bed; I stare at the ceiling I dream about dreaming
Woke up this morning shaking my head
I pick up the paper, I put down the paper
Turn on the TV, I get confused, People on this side say the people on that side
They lie and say they’re lying, everybody’s confused
CHORUS: What can you do, what can you do when you can’t trust anybody to tell you the truth,
Can’t trust him can’t trust her, what to do what to do now. Only the lord knows and he ain’t you.
I talk to my teacher, I talk to my deacon, talk to my sister, talk to my fans
Hit by the wheeling, hit by the dealing, hit by a feeling, it’s out of my hands
I pick up the paper, I put down the paper
Turn on the TV, I get confused, People on this side say the people on that side
They lie and say they’re lying, everybody’s confused
Only the Lord knows and he ain’t you.

Met myself a comin' county welfare line. I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin', down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.
Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone When I couldn't even talk to you.
Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up, Communication failed. If you see the answer, now's the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains. Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?

We may not have a cent to pay the rent But were gonna make it, I know we will We may have to eat beans every day But were gonna make it, I know we will And if a job is hard to find And we have to stand in the welfare line I've got your love and you know you got mine So were gonna make it, I know we will
We may not have a home to call our own But were gonna make it, I know we will We may have to fight hardships alone But were gonna make it, I know we will Cause togetherness brings peace of mind We can't stay down all the time I've got your love and you know you got mine So were gonna make it, I know we will
Our car may be old, our two rooms cold But were gonna make it, I know we will We may not can spare a roach a crumb But were gonna make it, I know we will And if I have to carry round a sign Sayin Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind I got your love and you know you got mine So were gonna make it, I know we will
Were gonna make it Were gonna make it, baby It might seem hard sometime But don't worry, darlin baby Were gonna keep on tryin’

I’m too close to reaching my journeys end
Lord I’m too close, to turn back living in a world of sin
I wouldn’t take nothing, Lord for my journey now
You know I sure got to make it to heaven some how
I’m too close, too close to reaching my goal
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, I said I’m too close, too close to saving my soul
You know I’m too close, to heaven to turn around, just can’t turn around.
Anyhow, anyhow, my lord.
Down at the cross oh lord you sure got around
You know that I’m on my way to heaven any how
Lord you may, you may shout, you may scorn
Scared alive, scared alive my name
You know that on my way, on my way, on my way, on my way
Sometimes burden, I’m on my way, I get so tired sometimes, I’m on my way
My road gets a rocky,
I’m on my way
I wonder if you’re on your way, I wonder, are you on you’re way
I am on my way to heaven anyhow, anyhow.
