Mahalia Jackson

There are those who really see you
No matter what your trust may be

Even friend and near of kin can be
Sometime torn, there backs on me

Whoa, but the one
Whose always listenin'

And my poor, poor condition sees
Yes, I can put all my trust in my Jesus

Oh, yes

Can He put His trust in me?
Do I help those who are in need?

Just like Jesus, Jesus has helped me
Oh, do I give my best in service
Even though Lord, no one can see?

Well, Lord, am I truly, truly, Lord, an example
Well, what a Christian, a Christian, ought to be?

Yes, I can put all my trust in my Jesus
Oh, yes, can He put, oh, my lord, His trust in me

One a-these mornings
Soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening
Late in the evening
I'm going home to live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burdens
Put on my robe in Glory
Goin' home, one day, and tell my story
I been climbing over hills and mountains
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know, all a-God's sons and daughters, that morning
Will be drinking that ol' healing water
And we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on forever
We gonna live on, up in Glory after while

I'm goin out sight-seeing in Buelah
March all around God's alter
Gonna walk and never get tired
Gonna fly, Lord, and never faulter
I'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet ol' man Daniel
I'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew Children
I'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet Paul and Silas
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my friends and kindred
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving mother
I'm gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet that Lily of the Valley
I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon
It will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy howdy
It will be always howdy howdy
And never goodbye

Oh, will you be there early one morning
Will you be there, somewhere 'round God's alter
Will you be there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll
God knows I'll be waiting, hmmm
Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round God's alter
Well, I'll be waiting, oh, at the beautiful, yes, golden gates

Well, well, soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heavy burdens
Gonna put on my robe in Glory
I'm going home, one day, tell my story
I been climbing over hills and mountains
I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all God, God's sons and daughters that mornin'
Will drink that ol' healing water

Meet me there, early one morning
Meet me there, somewhere 'round the alter
Meet me there, oh, when the angels shall call God's roll

Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive our debts
As we forgive our debtors.
and lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
Forever,
Amen
Amen.

[Verse:]
In the upper room with Jesus,
Sitting at His blessed feet.
Daily does my sin confessing,
Begging for His mercy, sweet.

Trusting in His grace and power,
Seeking there, His love in prayer.
It is then I feel the Spirit,
As I sit with Him up there.

[Chorus:]
In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room with my Lord.
In the upper room,
In the upper room,
It's in the upper room,
Yes, with my Lord.

In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room, I'm taking with my Lord.

In the upper room,
In the upper room,
It's in the upper room,
Yes, with the Lord.

Why should I be discouraged
And why should the shadows fall
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heavenly home
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He

* His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

*Repeat

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free

*Repeat

How I got over,
How I got over, my Lord
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord
The tallest tree in Paradise
The Christians call it tree of life
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord

Lord, I've been buked and I've been scorned
And I've been talked bout as sure as you're born
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord

Oh, Jordan's river is so chilly and cold
It will chill your body but not your soul
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord
