Lord, I Just Can’t Keep From Crying lyrics

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

My mother often told me, angels [bonded your life away?]
She said I would accomplish, if I trust in God and pray
I'm on the King's highway, I'm traveling everyday

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]-
'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

My mother, she's in glory, thank God I'm on my way
Father, he's gone too, and sister she could not stay
I'm trusting Him everyday, He will bear my burdens away

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
