=================================================

DO YOU WANT TO BE A LOVER OF THE LORD?
As recorded by the Davis Bible Singers in Dallas, TX, December 6, 1929


Oh....

RFERAIN:
Do you want to be a lover of the Lord?
God almighty, hear me callin', get back devil
[sung under the above line:] Of the Lord, of the Lord?
Do you want to be a lover of the Lord?
[sung under the above line:] Got to go over for to walk in the Kingdom
Do you want to go to Heaven when you die?

Thank you friends for your advice
I'll abide them if I can
If I do, I'd be so glad
I'll hold out to the end

Went in the valley one day to pray
My soul got so happy and I stayed all day
My hand got glued to the gospel plow
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now

If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Follow me down to that Jordan stream

Haven't been to Heaven but I've been told
[It's] the place where milk and honey flow
