Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ain't Gonna Grieve My Lord No More
Q sent me a very nice arrangement:
I Ain't Gwine to Grieve My Lord No More
Oh, look up yonder! (Oh, look up yonder, yonder what I see?) What I see? Bright angels coming after me (Bright angels coming after me).
CHORUS: I ain't gwine to grieve my Lord no more, For the Bible told me so; I ain't gwine to grieve my Lord, To grieve my Lord no more, no more.
Oh, Paul and Silas (Oh, Paul and Silas, Silas bound in jail) bound in jail, The one did sing while the other prayed (The one did sing while the other prayed). CHORUS
If you get there (If you get there before I do) before I do, Look out for me, I'm coming through (Look out for me, I'm coming through). CHORUS
