Azizi	Yonder Comes My Jesus (old Gospel Song) (5)	RE: Yonder Comes My Jesus (old Gospel Song)	23 Feb 13
Here's my transcription of one example of "Yonder Come My Jesus": (I wrote that title as "Yonder Comes..." But all the examples I've found of this song- with the exception of the line that Odum cites- gives that line as "Yonder Come My Jesus".) LYRICS: YONDER COME MY JESUS Church, yonder come my Jesus Hallelujah Oh I said, yonder come my Jesus Hallelujah [Follow this pattern throughout. The beginning word in line #3 appears to usually start with "oh".] Well, He's comin on the clouds, now... Well, I said in Heaven I shall see Him.... Well, you know that in Heaven He's got the power... Well I said yonder come my Jesus... Oh, how do you know that Jesus... Well, His hair was white like lamb's wool... Well, His heart was a flame on fire... Well, his vestiments were dipped in blood, y'all... [vestiments= vestments meaning his ceremonial robe, garment] Oh church, how do you know that Jesus... Well, they crowned Him, the King of Kings... Well, He's comin on the clouds, y'all... Oh church, yonder come my Jesus... Well, He's the beginning and the end, y'all... Oh, He's the first and the last... Well, He's the alpha and omega... I cried Halle, Hallelujah... I shouted, Halle, Hallelujah... -snip- From: Elder James Hudson - Elder A. Austin (Yonder Come My Jesus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7aA8Cc7j0 at The Mount Calvary Primitive Baptist Association October 2009 which was held at Pleasant Grove Primitive Baptist Church. -snip- The song "Yonder Come My Jesus" begins at 2:28. It was sung during an "offering". An "offering" is when those present (the congregation) give money to the church for its upkeep or for missionary work. A man is heard setting a goal of $500.00 for this offering. Some men (probably the church "Trustees [church officials] are shown counting the money that was given. These lyrics, and the other examples that I've found, are based on descriptions of Jesus, professions of faith, and accounts of Jesus' crucifixion. Italics means that I'm unsure of this transcription. Any information about this song will be appreciated.
