Lord I have a heavy burden *its* all I've seen and know But your word is like a fire and I cannot let it go
And when I'm weary and overwrought with so many battles left unfought
I see Paul and Silas in the prison yard I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them
Lord it's all that I can't carry and cannot leave behind So I think of those before me who lived a faithful life And when I'm weary and overwrought with so many battles left unfought
I see the shepherd Moses in the Pharohs court I hear his call for freedom for the people of the Lord
And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them And when I'm weary and overwrought with so many battles left unfought
I see the long quiet walk along the Underground Railroad Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com I see Harriet awakening to the value of her soul
I see the young missionary and the angry spear I see his family returning with no trace of fear
I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights I see the sister standing by the dying man's side
I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor I see the man with a passion come and kicking down the door
I see the man of sorrows and his long troubled road I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load
And when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them and when the Saints go marching in I want to be one of them I want to be one of them I want to be one of them
