MY SOUL'S BEEN ANCHORED IN THE LORD
Traditional Negro Spiritual


REFRAIN:
In the Lord, in the Lord
My soul's been anchored in the Lord
In the Lord, in the Lord
My soul's been anchored in the Lord
O yes, my soul's been anchored in the Lord
O yes, my soul's been anchored in the Lord

Before I'd stay in Hell one day
My soul's been anchored in the Lord
I'm going to sing myself away
My soul's been anchored in the Lord

I'm going to pray and never stop
My soul's been anchored in the Lord
Until I reach the mountain top
My soul's been anchored in the Lord


ALTERNATE STYLE FOR REFRAIN:
In the Lord (in the Lord!), in the Lord
(In the Lord!) My soul's been anchored in the Lord
In the Lord (in the Lord!), in the Lord
My soul's been anchored in the Lord
O yes, my soul's been anchored in the Lord

MY SOUL'S BEEN ANCHORED IN THE LORD (2)

REFRAIN:
In the Lord, in the Lord;
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord.)
In the Lord, in the Lord;
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord.)

Before I'd stay in Hell one day--
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord.)
I'd sing and pray myself away!

MY SOUL'S BEEN ANCHORED IN THE LORD
Traditional Negro Spiritual. Learned from the singing of Leontyne Price on RCA CD, "The Essential Leontyne Price; Spirituals, Hymns & Sacred Songs." Adapted, edited, and aranged for The Good News-Goodtime Band (C) 2005 by Susan O. Hinton.


REFRAIN:
In the Lord, in the Lord--
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
In the Lord, in the Lord--
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)

Before I'd stay in sin one day,
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
I'd rather sing myself away.
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)

I'm going to pray and never stop,
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
Until I reach the mountain top.
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)

I heard a rumblin' underground,
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
Must be the Devil a-turnin' 'round.
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)

I heard a rumblin' in the sky,
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
Must be Jehovah passing by.
(My soul's been anchored in the Lord!)
