Pastor T.L. Barrett
These Are the Words
These are the words I say to you, Lord
These are the words I say to you, Lord
Without you, my Lord, without you, my Lord
I can't take it, sure can't make it
These are the words I say to you, Lord (These are the words)
These are the words I say to you, Lord (These are the words)
Without you, my Lord, without you, my Lord (Oh, Lord)
I can't take it, sure can't make it
Some people say, they say God is dead
But we know that that's all a lie
We know he lives every day
Because he heard our cry
These are the words I say to you, Lord
These are the words I say to you, Lord
Without you, my Lord, without you, my Lord
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
These are the words I say to you, Lord (These are the words)
These are the words I say to you, Lord (These are the words)
Without you, my Lord, without you, my Lord (Oh, Lord)
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
(Sure can't make it)My blood is heavy
(Sure can't make it)All along the way
(Sure can't make it)I got to cross some heights
(Sure can't make it)Every day
(Sure can't make it)But I keep on walking
(Sure can't make it)Cross the King's Highway
(Sure can't make it)It doesn't matter
(Sure can't make it)What the people say
(Sure can't make it)You don't believe
(Sure can't make it)That I've been redeemed
(Sure can't make it)Follow me down
(Sure can't make it)To the Jordan stream
(Sure can't make it)Stepped in the water
(Sure can't make it)Stepped in the water
(Sure can't make it)Stepped in the water
(Sure can't make it)The water was cold
(Sure can't make it)Chilled my body
(Sure can't make it)But not the soul
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Well, some people say, they say God is dead
But we know that that's all a lie
We know he lives every day
Because he heard our cry
These are the words I say to you, Lord
These are the words I say to you, Lord
Without you, my Lord, without you, my Lord
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
Sure can't make it, sure can't make it
