Spiritual Songs

The Lord He thought He'd make a man
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So he took a little water and he took a little sand
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

Chorus:

I know it know it, indeed I know it brother

I know it - whee! - dem bones are gonna rise again

Now Adam he was terribly blue
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He didn't know exactly what to do
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

So the lord took a rib from Adam’s side
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And He made Miss Eve to be his bride
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

He put them in a garden fair
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He thought they'd be most happy there
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

Apples, peaches, pears and such
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But of this tree you must not touch
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

Now Eve took a walk by the tree one day
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And a serpent popped up in her way
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

"Now, Eve, this fruit tastes mighty fine"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"Just take one, the lord won't mind"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

So Eve took a pick and then took a pull
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And then she filled her apron full
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

Now Adam and Eve they tried to hide
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But the lord looked down, and them he spied
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

"Now Adam you must leave this place"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"And earn your livin' by the sweat of your face"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

So Adam took a pick and then took a plow
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And that's why we're all workin' now!
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)

5. Do Lord – Everett George Washington

Chorus:

Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me,

Way beyond the blue.

I've got a home in Glory Land, that outshines the Sun
Outshines the Sun; Yes, outshines the Sun.
I've got a home in Glory Land, that outshines the Sun
Way beyond the blue.

I took my Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too,
I took my Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too,
I took my Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too,
While He's calling you!

8. Joy is Like the Rain – Miriam Theresa Winter

I saw raindrops on my window, Joy is like the rain.

Laughter runs across my pane, slips away and comes again,

Joy is like the rain.

I saw clouds upon a mountain, Joy is like a cloud.

Sometimes silver, sometimes gray,

Always sun not far away.

Joy is like a cloud.

I saw Christ in wind and thunder, Joy is tried by storm.

Christ asleep within my boat, Whipped by wind yet still afloat,

Joy is tried by storm.

I saw raindrops on the river, Joy is like the rain.

Bit by bit the river grows, till all at once it overflows,

Joy is like the rain.

10. Let There Be Peace on Earth – Sy Miller & Jill Jackson

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth

The peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father

Brothers all are we

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now

With every step I take

Let this be my solemn vow:

To live each moment and love each moment

In peace eternally

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.

11. Lord of the Dance – Sydney Carter

I danced in the morning when the world was begun

And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,

And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth,

At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Chorus:

Dance, then, wherever you may be;

I am the Lord of the Dance said he,

And I’ll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,

But they would not dance and they would not follow me,

I danced for the fisherman, for James and John,

They came with me and the dance went on.

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame.

The holy people said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,

And they left me there on a cross to die.

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black

It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back;

They buried my body and they thought I’d gone

But I am the dance and I still go on.

They cut me down and I leap up high:

I am the life that’ll never die;

I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me

I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.

12. Love Round (4-Part Round)

Love, love, love, love

Christians this is your call

Love your neighbour as yourself

For God loves us all.

Jesus, Jesus,

Let me tell you how I feel

You have given me your riches

I love you so

13. Michael, Row the Boat Ashore – Negro Spiritual

Michael, row the boat ashore, alleluia!

Sister, help to trim the sails, alleluia!

River Jordan is chilly and cold, alleluia!

Chills the body but not the soul, alleluia!

River Jordan is deep and wide, alleluia!

Milk and honey on the other side, alleluia!

14. Morning Has Broken – Old Gaelic

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day!

15. Peace, I Ask Of Thee O River – Viola Wood

Peace I ask of thee, O river, peace, peace, peace.

When I learn to live serenely, cares will cease.

From the hills I gather courage, vision of the day to be,

Strength to lead and faith to follow, all are given unto me.

Peace I ask of thee, O river, peace, peace, peace.

16. Quietly – Sue Stevens

Quietly in the morning, Quietly when dawn is near,

Quietly in the sunrise, Quietly God is there.

Chorus:

Listen for God in quietness, Listen and you may hear.

Listen for God in stillness, Listen for God is there.

Quietly in the springtime, Quietly when leave appear,

Quietly in the greenness, Quietly God is there.

Quietly in the evening, Quietly when stars appear,

Quietly in the stillness, Quietly God is there.

Quietly we are gathered, Quietly for night is near,

Quietly close beside us, Quietly God is there.

17. Sing Hosanna!

Give me oil for my lamp, keep it burning

Give me oil for my lamp I pray

Give me oil for my lamp, keep it burning

Keep it burning till the light of day

Chorus:

Sing Hosanna, sing Hosanna

Sing Hosanna till the break of day

Sing Hosanna, sing Hosanna

Sing Hosanna till the break of day

Give me joy in my heart keep me praising

Give me joy in my heart I pray

Give me joy in my heart keep me praising

Keep me praising till the break of day

Give me peace in my heart keep me resting

Give me peace in my heart I pray

Give me peace in my heart keep me resting

Keep me resting till the break of day

Give me love in my heart keep me serving

Give me love in my heart I pray

Give me love in my heart keep me serving

Keep me serving till the break of day

18. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (3-Part Song) – Negro Spiritual

Chorus:

Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home;

Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,

Comin' for to carry me home;

A band of angels coming after me,

Comin' for to carry me home.

If you get to heaven before I do,

Comin' for to carry me home;

Just tell all my friends that I'm a-coming too,

Comin' for to carry me home.

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down,

Comin' for to carry me home;

But still my soul feels heavenly bound,

Comin' for to carry me home.

I've never been to heaven, but I've been told,

Comin' for to carry me home;

That the streets in heaven are paved with gold,

Comin' for to carry me home.
