Fieldhands

Field-hands Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long ways from home Oh, Mary, don’t you weep Don’t you mourn Walk that lonesome valley Keep on pray’n Leave behind all my troubles I’ll be resting from my labor When I lay my burdens down Talk about a child that do love Jesus Here is one Talk about a child that’s seeking for the Kingdom Here is one Keep on plowin’ ; don’t you tire ! Ev’ry round goes higher and higher Keep yo’ hands on to the plow and hold on If you wanna get to heaven , I will tell you how Just keep yo’ hand on the gospel plow and hold on Ain’t nobody go’n turn me ‘round Soon I will be done Hold on to his hand, God’s unchanging hand He will not leave you whatsoever years may bring Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom, Oh freedom over me. And before I'd be a slave I'd be buried in my grave And go home to my Lord and be free. Marckincia Jean 04/10/20 Free verse Old ***** Spirituals That stir my soul
