    LYRICS

    Disc 1, #3 Steal Away to Jesus (in the Midnight Hour)


    I’m gwon steal away
    In the midnight hour.
    Steal, steal away to Jesus.

    Lord do you hear me?


    Do you hear me when I make my humble cry?
    I’m goan steal away
    Oh lord, in the midnight hour.
    Steal away to Jesus.
    Lord my body is wracked with pain.
    Well, when the moon,
    when the moon rises high in the sky.
    I’ll be ready, I’ll be ready
    To steal away.
    You may capture, you may capture my body
    But my soul, my soul will always be free.

    I’m gwon steal away


    When you see the pigeons flyin in that northern sky
    Lord, Lord I’m ready to steal away
    Do you hear me, oh great father when I make my humble cry.
    Steal away, steal away to Jesus.

    Oh Lord, oh Lord, in the midnight hour.


    Steal away.
    Oh Lord, I’m ready.
    I’m ready to steal away.
    Maybe soon in the morning.
    I’m ready to steal away.
    Maybe in the wee wee hours .
    I’m ready to steal away.

    12 o’clock in the afternoon


    your child is ready to steal away.
    Oh Lord steal away to Jesus
    In the midnight hour, I’m ready

    Sometimes my tongue gets stuck up in the roof of my mouth


    When I’m praying to my lord
    But I’m ready,
    Ready to steal away.

    Oh Lord,
    Steal away.
    Steal away
    Steal away to Jesus.

    Wadin’ in the water
    Wadin’ in the water, just like John
    You know that god’s gonna trouble the water

    Well I moved on into the water


    The water was a little bit cold
    It chilled my natural body
    But it didn’t disturb my soul.

    Wadin’ in the water


    Wadin’ in the water children
    Wadin’ in the water
    Wadin’ in the water just like John
    You know that Gods’s gonna trouble the water

    Tell my mother I’m comin’ too
    God’s gonna trouble the water

    I’m wadin’ in the water


    Wadin’ in the water children

    Wadin’ in the water
    Wadin’ in the water just like John
    You know that Gods’s gonna trouble the water

    I know my time for freedom


    Is way up ahead of me.
    But I keep on moving on
    I want my savior to always see that I’m a

    Well who’s the children dressed in red
    God’s gonna trouble the water
    Must be the children that Moses lead.
    God’s gonna trouble the water.

    INTRO
    Swing low sweet chariot, coming fore to carry me home
    Swing low sweet chariot, coming fore to carry me home
    Oh Swing down low
    Swing down chariot come and let me ride
    Swing down chariot come and let me ride
    Help me Lord, help me Lord

    I looked over Jordan, and what did I see?


    Comin’ fore to carry me home.
    A band of angels comin’ after me
    Comin’ fore to carry me home.

    If you get to heaven before I do


    Comin’ fore to carry me home.
    Tell all my friends I’m comin’ too
    Comin’ fore to carry me home.

    I’m sometimes up and sometimes down


    Comin’ fore to carry me home.
    But still my soul feels heavenly bound
    Comin’ fore to carry me home.
