Thread Name: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'
Subject: Lyr Add: LORD I'M IN YOUR CARE
Lord, I'm in Your Care is another traditional spiritual and is sometimes titled "Oh Lord, I'm in your Care." It was recorded first by Edward Clayborn in 1927; then Rev. Jm Gates in 1934.

The Carters recorded their version in 1937. The Carters may have learned this through Riddle and his friend gospel singer Pauline Gary
or Peer (since it was recorded by Victor previously).

LORD I'M IN YOUR CARE- Carter Family

Oh, Lord, I'm in your care
Oh, Lord, I'm in your care
Your loving arms around me
Evil cannot harm me
Oh, Lord, I'm in your care

All day long I'm in your care
All day long I'm in your care
Your loving arms around me
Evil cannot harm me
Lord, I'm in your care

When I was sick, I was in your care
When I was sick, I was in your care
Your loving arms around me
Evil cannot harm me
Lord, I'm in your care

I'm a friendless child, but I'm in your care
I'm a friendless child, but I'm in your care
Your loving arms around me
Evil cannot harm me
Lord, I'm in your care
