Refrain:
Mah God is so high, yuh can't get over Him;
He's so low, yuh can't git under Him;
He's so wide, yuh can't get aroun' Him;
Yuh mus' come in by an through de Lam'.
He's so high, yuh can't get over Him;
He's so low, yuh can't git under Him;
He's so wide, yuh can't get aroun' Him;
Yuh mus' come in by an through de Lam'.

1 One day as I was a-walkin' along de Hebenly road,
Mah Savior spoke unto me
an' He fill mah heart wid His love. [Refrain]

2 I'll take mah gospel trumpet an' I'll begin to blow,
An' if mah Savior help me
I'll blow wherever I go. [Refrain]
