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
