Lyrics:Clevant Derricks

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
Well then a little light from heaven healed my soul
Well, he bathed my heart in love, and wrote my name above
Well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna it right

We'll just have a little talk with Jesus
We're gonna tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our fainted cry
He will answer by and by
Oh well, when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you will know a little fire is burnin'
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

You may have doubts and fears
Your eye be filled with tears
Oh well my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
Well he wrote my name above, and he bathed my heart in love
Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna make it right

Let us have a little talk with my Jesus
Please let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
He will answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
You'll know just a little fire is burnin'
And have a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right

Oh well now my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
Well you go to Him in prayer

Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right
Now let us have a little talk with my Jesus
Tell Him all about our troubles

And I know he's gonna answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
You'll know a little fire is burnin'
And have a little talk with my J


2.Walk that Lonesome Valley

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now mother walked that lonesome valley
Now mother walked, she walked it by herself
Well there ain't nobody else could ever walk it for her
She had to walk it, she had to walk it by herself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now father walked that lonesome valley
Now father walked it, he walked it by himself
Nobody else could walk it for him
Well he had to walk it, he had to walk it by himself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

Now John was a baptist
He was some folk say he was a Jew
He wrote that holy holy bible
The bible tells you, it plainly tells you
That he was, that he was a preacher too

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
Well you gotta go by yourself
Well there ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
You gotta go there by yourself


3.I Shall Not Be Moved

Lyrics:Homer Morris
Music:Homer Morris

Well Lordy I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's growin' in the meadow (down by the
water)
I shall not be moved

I'm on my way to glory land and I shall not be moved
On my way to glory land I will not be moved
I'm like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

Well I'm on my way to glory land and I shall not be moved
On my way to glory land I shall not be moved
I'm like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

Oh well
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

On this rock of ages, I shall not be moved
On this rock of ages, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved

Glory, glory, glory Hallelujah, I shall not be moved
Glory Hallelujah, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
I shall not be moved


4.Peace In The Valley(For Me)

Lyrics:Thomas A.Dorsey
Music:Thomas A.Dorsey

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh
yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me


5.Down by the Riverside

I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
I'm gonna study war no more

I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more

Well, I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the
riverside (Oh)
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the
riverside
I'm gonna study war no more

I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more

Well, I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (Where?) down by
the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (A-ha) down by the
riverside
I'm gonna study war no more

I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no
more


6.I'm with a Crowd But Oh So Alone

Lyrics:Ernest Tubb/Carl Story
Music:Ernest Tubb/Carl Story

I'm with a crowd but oh so alone
I still have the picture you sent me
And you signed it with love you recall
And the one of me that you wanted
Is now hanging face to the wall
At night I'm never alone
I'm afraid that I'll weaken and phone
And I'm afraid that you will be gone
I'm with a crowd but oh so alone


7.Farther Along

Arranger:Elvis Presley

(We'll understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by


8.Blessed Jesus Hold My Hand

... mm, stepping through the sinking sand
To the cross of Calvary
Mm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For there is no friend on whom I can depend
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

Blessed Jesus, hold my hand ...
Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour
Through the this pilgrims land
Protect me by thy saving power
Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, hoh, Lord, please, tell me
I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand.


9.As We Travel Along the Jericho Road

As you travel along on the Jericho Road

(Elvis:I would take young Johnny Cash to do this)

Does the road seem all long and heavy your load
Just take it to Christ your sins all confess
On the Jericho Road your heart He will bless

On the Jericho Road


10.I Just Can't Make It by Myself

Lyrics:Clara Ward
Music:Clara Ward

I need Jesus to guide me every day
As I'm travellin' along this rough and narrow way
Though afflictions fill my soul
I'm determined to make the goal
I've gotta have Jesus 'cause I just can't make it by myself

Every day I pray (pray) pray (pray)
Pray (pray) pray (pray)
I pray (pray) pray (pray
Pray pray pray
Pray and ask the Lord Jesus
Don't leave me by myself

Every mornin' through the years I pray
You know I've got to have Jesus
I just can't it by myself
By myself


11.Little Cabin on the Hill

Lyrics:Bill Monroe/Lester Flatt
Music:Bill Monroe/Lester Flatt

Tonight I'm alone without you my dear
It seems that there's a longing for you still
Oh but I just keep it there so I won't be alone
In our little cabin on the hill

Oh someone has taken you from me
And left me here all alone
To listen to the rain beat on our window pane
In our little cabin on the hill

17.Don't Forbid Me

Lyrics:Charles Singleton
Music:Charles Singleton

Don't forbid me to hold you tight
Darling don't forbid me to hold you tight
Take me in your lovin' arms
'cause it's cold and I can keep you warm

Don't forbid me to talk sweet nothings
Don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Take me in your arms baby please
'cause it's cold, it's cold and your lips might freeze
