Well, early in the morn’, ’bout the break of day,
I ask the Lord, help me find a way.
Help me find a way to the promised land
This lonely body needs a helpin’ hand
I ask the Lord to help me please, find a way.
When, the new day’s a dawnin’, I bow my head in prayer,
I pray you Lord won’t you lead me there.
Won’t you guide me safely, to the golden stair
Won’t you let this body, your burden share,
I pray you Lord, won’t you lead me please, lead me there.
When the judge men come, find the world in chains,
When the trumpet blows, won’t you call my name, won’t you call my name.
When the thunder rolls and the heavens rain,
When the sun turns back, never shout again,
When the trumpet blows won’t you call me please, call my name.
