I said to de Lord, 'I'm goin' to hold steady on to you, an' I know you'll see me through.'

Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.

Twasn't me, 'twas the Lord! I always told Him, 'I trust to you. I don't know where to go or what to do, but I expect You to lead me,' an' He always did.

'Pears like my heart go flutter, flutter, and then they may say, 'Peace, Peace,' as much as they likes - I know it's goin' to be war!

I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

'Pears like I prayed all the time, 'bout my work, everywhere, I prayed an' groaned to the Lord.
