POPULAR SONGS THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER: VOLUME THREE: GOSPEL

Jonah, Jonah

Jonah said unto the Lord
“I wish I knew what you know.”
“Jonah, Jonah,” said the Lord
“You know that that can’t be so.”

Some things high,
And some things low
Some things fast
And some things slow
But however far you go
Some things only God can know

I once said unto the Lord
“I wish I knew what you know”
But today I bless my soul
That some things I’ll never know


I Don’t Know Why

I don’t know why
I don’t know why
He hung upon that tree
Twas I, twas I
That should have died
And he that should go free

My whole life long
No right, no wrong
I did just what I pleased
So why, oh why
Did Jesus die
Before I bent my knee?

The stars at night
The city lights
You see them from the sea
But none so bright
As my God’s eyes
When he looked down on me

Lord Knows
Where My Baby Went

Lord knows where my baby went
Lord gonna take care of him

No one saw my baby leave
Every night I cry and grieve

Everywhere my baby go
Everywhere he find the Lord


Like He Do

I don’t know why
I don’t know how
Jesus would love me like he do

I don’t know why
I don’t know how
I only know
That it is true


I Don’t Care (What No Man Says)

I don’t care what no man says
Only God can strike me dead

I don’t care what no man says
Only God knows where I’ve been

Lord Please Show Me

Lord I’m frightened of the dark
Lord please show me who you are

Lord the days are long and hard
Lord please show me who you are

Lord I wish you’d stop my heart
Lord please show me who you are

My Heart Won’t Let Me Be

Lord my heart won’t let me be
Every day it beats and beats
Lord my heart won’t let me be
Won’t you please take it from me?

I Need Rest

I need rest
From all these demons chasin me
Don’t wanna look anymore
On the things that I gotta see
I need a friend
Don’t wanna be lonely anymore
I’m gonna hide under the wings
Of my Lord

When I am lost
When I have got no place to go
When I fall down
When I forget the things I know
When I am broken
When I cannot stop my weeping
I’m gonna hide under the shadow of his wings

He lights the dawn
He sees the sparrow in the tree
He calms the storm
He hooks the monster in the deep
The mountains tremble
His hand can move most anything
I’m gonna hide under the shadow of his wings

The road is long
The night is dark, the rain is cold
How far I come
How far it is, I never know
But one fine day
When I reach Jordan’s golden shore
I’m gonna die under the wings
of my Lord.

Trouble On My Shoulder

I was born with trouble
On my shoulder
I was born with trouble
In my heart
I was born with trouble
On my shoulder
Oh, Lord, when can I lay down?

The Lord Will Go With You

When you go out
As you will do
To roam the streets
And byways too
When you go out
As you will do
The Lord will go,
Will go with you

When you go out
As you will do
Under the sun
Under the moon
When you go out
As you will do
The Lord will go,
Will go with you

On lonely roads
Or in the town
If you are lost
Or you are found
The Lord your God
He will be true
And where you go,
He’ll go with you

And when your days
On earth are through
And Death he comes
To call for you
When you go out
As you will do
The Lord will go,
Will go with you.
