[F#] [G]
This reminded me [Dm] of an [Em] old spiritual event we used to do back home
[F#m] when [G] mother used to gather us all up and
[D] [Em] begin to talk to us about the Lord.
She [F#] said, [G]
always, [Em] always keep your hand in God's hand
and if [C] you do, he'll put the wing for you.
Yes, we [G] will.
Let me say it.
It's [D] getting late [G] in the evening.
[Bm] [C] That's what she said.

[C] But listen to this right [G] now.
Listen here.
As she began to walk across the floor, from side to [Dm] side,
[Em]
I could see her all open up [G] towards the God of glory and said,
[Gm] Lord, I know [Em] you ain't the fine woman.
I want you to [G] take care of my child.
Oh, Lord.
She looked at us [D] and said, all I want you [Em] to do is remember,
when you feel down in the prayer, I want [C] you to remember this.
[B]
Lord have [Am] mercy.
[C]
[G] She said, [D] there's a man [G] over the river.
[C] She kept on [A] saying that to [G] him.
There is a man over the river.
Oh, we love you.
[Em]
[G]
[Em]
[C] You've been tight to the man.
Lord, yes, you have.
[G] So you gave it to [C] the man.
That's what [G] she said.

[G] Oh, he'll give him sight.
[C] Oh, [Am] yes, he will.
[G] Oh, yeah.
[C] I know [A] he is a man.
[G] I'm not worried about [C] him.
I know he'll give it to you.
[G] Oh, he'll [Em] give him sight.
