Subject: Lyr Add: HE GOT BETTER THINGS FOR YOU
Lyrics as I hear them from the YouTube link above:-

HE GOT BETTER THINGS FOR YOU (Memphis Sanctified Singers)

Kind friends, I want to to tell you
Because I love your souls
No doubt you've been converted
But that ain't ever been told
Some people will try to fool you
There's nothing else to do
But Jesus Christ my Saviour
He got better things for you

CHORUS:
        He got better things for you
        No one on earth can do (alt. More than your friends can do)
        He got the Holy Ghost and the Fire
        Sure can bring you through
        He got better things for you
        No one on earth can do
        Oh place my mind on Jesus
        He got better things for you
        
Aeneas he was humble
He prayed to God alway
But that was not sufficient
He did not kneel to pray
God sent to him an angel
And he told him what to do!
Some say he's waitin' in Glory
With better things for you

St Mary was a virgin
She birthed the Son of God
But that was not sufficient
She had to be with John
And set off to Jerusalem
And there he made her new
Now there she's waitin' in Glory
With better things for you
