[Verse 1]
Makes no diference what the problem,
(I can go to God in prayer).
Yes, I have this blessed assurance,
(I can go to God in prayer).
He will take my gloom and sorrow,
(turn them into light).
He will comfort, strenghten and keep me,
(I can go to God in prayer)

[Chorus]
I can call Him when I need Him,
Our, Father, up in heaven;
I can go to God in prayer,
I can go to God in prayer.

[Verse 2]
Sometimes my burdens get so heavy,
(I can go to God in prayer).
I have found one who is so faithful,
(I can go to God in prayer).
He will take my gloom and sorrow,
(turn them into light).
He will comfort, strenghten, and keep me,
(I can go to God in prayer).

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
He can work it out, He can work it out;
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(oh yes, He can).

I don't have no doubt, I don't have no doubt;
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(oh yes, He can).


I know what God can do, He'll bring you safely through
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(yes, He can),
(oh yes, He can).





[Chorus]

Wonderfully done. A singer indeed. Not a lot of yelling, screaming, extra runs. Just good old school clean singing. Ms. Nesby one of my favorites.❀
So sad the audience was so nonchalant. If she'd been somebody else. ( I won't call names) They would've been jumping up & down.
