James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Lyric

He's Got Yer Heart

HE'S GOT YER HEART


Mama mustn’t cry He’s got your heart
Mama mustn’t cry He’s got your heart
OH, Lord have no fear, Jesus is near
Mama musn’t cry He’s got your heart

Daddy need to pray unto the Lord
Daddy need to pray unto the Lord
What’s ya waiten fer
Gotta speak unto  the Lord
Better pay homage before it’s over

Brother, Brother why must you cry
Sister, sister why’d you die
OH, Lord have no fear, Jesus is near
My family don’t ya worry He’s got your heart
God will rest in you N giv you a brand new start
