Joe Offer Aine's Mudcat Songbook PermaThread (442* d) SB: Roll Down To It by Praise 01 Nov 10



Roll Down To It by Praise

Praise's Comments:   For Kayla, and all the Mudcat friends I grew closer to in the last week, and you all know who you are!   I have a new concept today coming out in the start of a song.  I was up on the sunny glory mountain all weekend, and here's Monday with a valley full of work.  So I did some work, then went back up to check out the mountains and clouds . . . and came back to work.  The tune and chorus popped into my head, the rest of the words are from how it's been all the last week with those I love.  I'm doing it in church first chance I get.  Anyone is welcome to add verses, you know how spirituals can be as long as an all day car trip among friends.  Just respect the basic concepts in it please or they won't make in into my word processor!

Strolling Bluesy Chorus:

Ya gotta roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it, from
High! on the mountain of love.
YEE HAHH!

Blues/testify Verse:

Well sometimes we know know who we really are,
When we're up-- where the sun is clear.
Sometimes we think it will all be like that,
And then sometimes, we're down with the fear.
But I've got a new way to make it all work,
And honey, right in this valley here-
You gotta just ROLL down to it, and remember that Jesus is near!

Ya gotta roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it, from
High! on the mountain of love.
YEE HAHH!

You see He's glad to come down and show you the way,
All you have to do is ask.
Are you still tryin' to crawl UP to the valley of life?
Now darlin' that is a much harder task!
You see Jesus is up there, but down He will come,
And put all-new wine in your flask.
When old super-test Jesus gets deep inside you--
He peels you right outta your mask!

Ya gotta roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it, from
High! on the mountain of love.
YEE HAHH!

No longer I'll crawl, one valley to the next,
I'll start up on the slope to His way.
And I'll roll on down to whatever He asks me
To do for Him each brand new day.
And as I roll on down, wrapped in His arms,
Honey! I'm headed your way!
So baby roll right down with me,
And then you will learn to say...

Ya gotta roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it, from
High! on the mountain of love.
YEE HAHH!
Ya gotta roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it (Roll down to it),
Roll down to it,
from...
Hi-ai-yi-igh!...
On the mountain...
You know I'm up here on this mountain!...
On this ole mountain, baby, of luh-uh-uh-oh-love... yea-eh-eah!
