LYRICS

Oh dear Lord I've loved
God almighty, God up above
Please, look down and see my people through.

I believe the sun and moon
Will shine up in the sky
When the day is grey
It's just clouds passing by.

He'll give peace and comfort
To every troubled mind
Come sunday, oh come sunday
That's the day.

Often we feel weary
But he knows our every care
Go to him in secret
He will hear every prayer.

The leaves in the valley
They neither toll nor spin
And flowers bloom in spring
And birds sing.

Up from dawn till sunset
Man work hard all the day
Come sunday, oh come sunday
That's the day.

  • I always want to cry when I hear this song because of her beautiful soulful voice. I did a dance on this song at my school`s Winterfest and I was just so happy to hear this song.I also performed at the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church. I LÓOOOOOOOOVE this song! I love you Mahalia, and rest in peace. :)
