I WANT TO MOAN RIGHT ON THAT SHORE

I want to moan right on that shore, (twice)
I want to moan for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

My mother she died right on that shore (twice)
My mother she died for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

I want to pray, etc.
I want to kneel, etc.
I want to stand, etc.
I want to build, etc.
