Lyrics

Jesus wash away my troubles
while I'm traveling here below
For I, I got enemies, Lord you know
and Jesus wash away my burdens
for they are so hard to bear

But I know there's consolation
As long as I know you're there, yes it is 2x

You know sometimes I feel like a motherless child
I'm a long way from home
You know sometimes I feel like a mar??? ghost
a long way from home
But Jesus take me on to glory
Lord, when I, when I die
For I know that day is coming
is coming by and by
