Subject: ADD: I Want to Live (E.C. Ball) From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Jan 10 - 01:19 AM Well, this is what I hear: I WANT TO LIVE (as recorded by E.C. Ball) I want to live (I want to live) Each day O Lord (Each day O Lord) A life that's good (A life that's good) And true. I want to walk (I want to walk) A holy way (The holy way) As Christians all (As Christians all) Should do And when at last (continue repeat pattern) In heaven's land A crown of life I'll wear I will be blessed (?) I'll live for thee (?) In this old world Of care. I feel my need Of thee, dear Lord When I am weak And old (?) I could not take Another step Except thou lead Me on. And when at last In heaven's land A crown of life I'll wear I will be blessed (?) I'll live for thee (?) In this old world Of care. I put my trust In thee O Lord For all the things I need I think I think (?) A verdant sky (?) And homeward bound Shall be And when at last In heaven's land A crown of life I'll wear I will be blessed (?) I'll live for thee (?) In this old world Of care. from the E.C. Ball Through the Years CD compilation CD I transcribed this by ear, and I'm not completely happy with my transcription. Some parts are downright absurd, like "verdant skies." last.fm may play the song for you - if you're in the right place in the world. |

That guarantees that I'll cherry pick or bypass them entirely and buy the CD if I like it enough. eMusic Link |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: E.C. Ball - I Want to Live From: Ebbie Date: 03 Jan 10 - 03:56 PM The original Chuck Wagon Gang band used to do this song- I remember how one high tenor line soared, which E. C. Ball's group doesn't do. But thanks for taking me back... |
