When it seems all help is gone, [G]
go ahead.
You know, so many people don't want to help you do nothing, you know.
My God will take you.
He'll take you in His [Gm] arms.
If you will only go ahead.
[G] Oh yes.
It makes no difference what the people [Gm] may say.
[E] You just go down [Am] on your knees and pray.
And you will find, [G] you'll find a brighter day.
If [Gm] you will only go ahead.
[G] And this one says, there are so many are [F] taking [G] [Gm] vacations.
Oh yes.
[Em] To the mountains, [G] the lakes, [Gm] and the [C] sea.
Seeking [G]
[C] out [Em] the lost sheep [G] in the [F] mountains.
[E] What a wonderful [F] time that [D] must [G] be.
Oh yes.
But I have a work to do.
It seems, say Mr.
Truth, not [C] my luck [Gm] to be like them.
Oh no.
[A] I must toil through the heat [E] and the cold.
[A]
[G] [C] Singing beautiful, [G] playing beautiful [C] songs of zion.
[G]
Maybe bringing [C] wonders, oh, back to the fold.
[Ab] But [A] someday, when I take my vacation, oh, [G] in heaven.
Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful time that must [Cm] be.
[G] Oh yes.
I will [C] be hearing concerts [G] by Gabriel.
Sweet chorus, sweet chorus.
And the face of my savior I will see.
Oh yes.
[C] Seeking out the lost sheep [A] on [G] the mountains.
And in the valleys.
[Ab]
And [C] in the plains.
[Cm]
[G] I'm inviting you to [Ab] take, [Am] take your vacations.
[G] Oh yes.
I would like to, I'd like for you to take your [Gm] vacation with me.
[G]
I'm gonna lay down this [A] old body some [Gm] sweet day.
Oh yes.
And go [A] with him [G]
beyond [D] the blue sky.
[Cm] [G]
I know I got to give in, [C] give an account of every little [Gm] thing [C] that I do.
Because [G] by and by, I want to meet you someday in the sky.
Oh yes.
We're gonna be judge of every little deed that we do.
In our bodies, it may not [C] be one, it may not [Ab] be two, may not [G] be three.
But I want to try on my long, long white robe and wear, wear my golden shoes.
[Dm] When [G] I get there, by and [D] by, [G] by and by.
[Am] [Ab]
go ahead.
You know, so many people don't want to help you do nothing, you know.
My God will take you.
