Too many too many hill
I lead awake at night, and I shed too many tears
The lord brought me over, has brought me over Sometimes, while on this journey
My body sometimes it gets all wreaking with pains
But I know all of my works, all of my works, all works my works
Down here won't be in vain,.
I'm glad I got a few more, few more rocks, a few more reel
But one day I'm going to make it, I'm going to make it
To the top of the hill
Lord, I come too far to turn around now HE AIN'T NEVER LEFT ME HE AIN'T NEVER LEFT ME HE AIN'T NEVER LEFT ME GOD'S BEEN TO GOOD TO ME HE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME HE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME HE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME LOOK UP, AND tell GOD,.
