95. Before I'd Be a Slave

1 Doubting Thomas, doubting Thomas, doubting Thomas,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.

2 Wrestling Jacob, wrestling Jacob, wrestling Jacob,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.

3 Weeping Mary, weeping Mary, weeping Mary,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.

4 Mourning Martha, mourning Martha, morning Martha,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.

5 Dying sinner, dying sinner, dying sinner,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in m grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.

6 Trusting Jesus, trusting Jesus, trusting Jesus,
All my days, all my days,
Before I'd be a slave,
I'd be buried in m grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.
