lyrics

Oh deep river…won’t you carry me home?
I wasn’t born for this world, Lord. I know it down to my soul.
And the world keeps on tossing me like a ship upon the sea.
I sip the cup of sorrow, I’m bowed down on my knees.
I held tight all through the night ‘til day was at my door.
And when the morning came, I was shaken to my core.

ch. I was on my knees when the light passed by.
I’ll see you on the other side
In the Promised Land, someday, By & By.

Oh deep river. Lift me, Oh Wings of Love.
My soul is bound for glory, child. Way up in Heaven above.
I pour out like water, my heart has turned to wax.
I walk the lonesome valley, it’s too late to turn back.
The hour is growing late, and everything is still.
I will cross on over. I’ll make it up that hill.

ch. Well, they say the river is deep and wide
I’ll see you on the other side.
In the Promised Land, someday, By and By.

(Coda) You can roll me now. Yeah, you can roll me now.
Because I’m not afraid of anything now.
‘Cos I walked through the valley of the shadow of death,
And then suddenly…
I saw the land of my dreams for as far as I can see.

They tell me of a home, somewhere past the skies
We will be one again, someday by and by.
Mine eyes have seen the glory, coming down the line
We will be one again, someday by and by.
