Subject: Lyr Add: Trials and Tribulations-Origin?
Here's another gospel song from my family's collection, but I'm not sure where they heard it. I can't find anything similar in the DT and would welcome other comments.
TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS (Ipcar Family Collection)
O, Satan tempted woman. Woman tempted man; If it ain't been for the Grace of God We'd all be dead an' damned -
Chorus:
Ain't dem hard trials, An' tribulations, Ain't dem hard trials, We're bo'n to leave dis world!
You run dis way, you run dat way, You run from do' to do'; You ain't go' de Grace of Jesus in yo' soul; Debil goin' to catch yo' sho'. (CHO)
Methodis, Methodid, is ma belief, Methodis will I die; I been bo'n in de Methodis Church Go'n to stay on de Baptis' side. (CHO)
Fox has a hole in de groun', De bird has a nes' in de air; Everything has a hiding place, But we po' sinners has none. (CHO)
