Subject: Lyr Add: No Depression (Ledford)
As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, The Lord's Last Supper, Lasting Faith Records LFLP 16. Note the additional stanza not found in the Carter Family recording.

NO DEPRESSION

For fear the hearts of men are failing
These are the latter days, we know
For a great depression now is ready
God's Word declared it would be so

In that good land there is no hunger
No orphan children cry for bread
No weeping widows, toil and trouble
No shrouds, no coffins, and no death

I'm going where there's no depression
To a lovely land that's free from care
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
For my home's in Heaven, I'm going there

This world's dark midnight hour is nearing
The tribulation time will come
The storm will break in mighty fearing
And sweep lost millions to their doom

Look up, rejoice, ye blood-washed people
Before this awful time will fly
The Lord will come as He has promised
His Bride will meet Him in the sky

I'm going where there's no depression
To a lovely land that's free from care
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble
For my home's in Heaven, I'm going there
