175. Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen

Refrain:
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen,
Nobody knows but Jesus,
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen,
Glory, hallelujah.

1 Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down,
Oh, yes, Lord,
Sometimes I’m almost to the ground,
Oh, yes, Lord. [Refrain]

2 Although you see me going ’long so,
Oh, yes, Lord,
I have my troubles here below,
Oh, yes, Lord. [Refrain]
