SPIRITUALS

Some new hymns and songs after the tradition of the Spirituals— those enduring songs about enduring faith.

DOWN, DOWN ON MY KNEES

Down, down on my knees, down on my knees, O Lord,
Call, call me to fall on my knees;
Bringing my need, learning to plead, O my Lord,
Learning my heavenly Lord to please.

Down, down on my knees, down on my knees, O Lord,
Call, call me to kneel at Your throne,
Baring my soul,  making me whole, O my Lord,
Learning to trust in my Lord alone.

Down, down on my knees, down on my knees, O Lord,
Call, call me to stand in Your sight,
Loving Your call,  giving my all, O my Lord,
Learning to walk in Your glorious light.

[ repeat first verse ]

I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ANYMORE

How can I worry, with Jesus on the boat?
Why should I worry, with Jesus on the boat?
    He said that He will care for me
    On the land or on the sea—
I don’t need to worry any, worry anymore.

Some days I’m weary, my heart feels sad and sore,
Shackled to sorrow, until my life is o’er,
    Then I remember He was bound
    With His enemies around—
I don’t need to worry any, worry anymore.

He is my Master, a master good and kind,
Gladly I serve Him, with this new heart so fine,
    They nailed Him to the cruel tree
    So my soul could be made free—
I don’t need to worry any, worry anymore.

How can I worry, when He is ever true?
He’ll walk beside me until my walk is through,
    He’ll call me Home some happy day
    And my soul will soar away—
I don’t need to worry any, worry anymore.

I've got a home in Gloryland,  Brother, meet me there.
I've got a home in Gloryland,  Brother, meet me there.

THE RIVER IS DARK AND WIDE

The river is dark and wide, and I must reach the other side--
Dear Lord, my soul would turn away;
I will go,  I trust in You,  I know You'll keep your promise true, 
    and walk me through.
Hold my hand, and I will understand your perfect peace--
All my fear will fall in sweet release.

The river is deep and dark, with courage now must I embark--
Dear Lord, take all my doubts away;
Show your face,  by faith I see your tender grace is close and
    strong to comfort me;
Light shines through the darkness of the deep, where I will sleep--
Soon the day will break, and I'll awake.
