Subject: I've Been in the Storn So Long
No. 55. I've Been in the Storm So Long

Chorus:
I've been in the storm so long,
I've been in the storm so long, children,
I've been in the storm so long,
Oh! give me little time to pray.

1
Oh! let me tell my mother how I came along,
Oh, give me little time to pray,
With a hung down head and an aching heart,
Oh, give me little time to pray.
Cho.
2
Oh! when I get to heaven, I'll walk all about,
Oh, give me little time to pray,
There'll be nobody there to turn me out,
Oh, give me little time to pray.
Cho.
3
I'll go into heaven, and take my seat,
Oh, give me little time to pray,
Cast my crown at Jesus' feet,
Oh, give me little time to pray.
Cho.
