Subject: RE: Lyr Add: I Know the Lord's Laid His Hands On Me
Hi, Susan:

The version we do is fairly different from this one, but it's been a couple of years since we've done and because I only sing on the responses, I don't remember the whole song. From my memory, The lead sings... very drawn out..

I know the Lord
I know the Lord
I know the Lord has laid his hands on me

I know the Lord
I know the Lord
I know the Lord has laid his hands on me

The he picks up the tempo and goes into a call and response:

Lead: I know the Lord       Response: I know the Lord
       I know the Lord                  I know the Lord
      
and begins improvising with response repeating the same line:

       Something happened               Something happened
       Feet got light                   Feet got light
       Felt allright                   Felt allright
       Allright, allright               Allright, Allright

Then the lead sings: (with the chorus in union)

Lead: Jesus laid his hands         
       Jesus laid his hands
       Jesus laid his hands on me

I have a nagging feeling that there's another section to the song...
I'll see if I can get any other words..
