Traditional American gospel-bluegrass, arrangement by Suzannah Park.
lyrics
Sinner man, so discouraged
While travel’n through this land, this land
Oh Lord, this land
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus just to hear what he has to say
Chorus:
My God almighty spoke and he said
Go and I’ll go with you,
Open your mouth and I will speak speech for you
For my Lord, tell me what to say, they won’t believe on me
Some say give me silver, Lord
Some say give me gold, my brother
I say give me Jesus, for he’s precious to my soul
I would not be a sinner, Lord
I’ll tell you the reason why, my brother
Afraid the Lord might call me, and I wouldn’t be ready too die
