Liner Notes

#oldtime #gospel #mandolin

I've had precious little time this FAWM due to many other obligations. This is a very true story that I threw together tonight based on my experience as I woke up this morning, and made it through the day.

Lyrics

When I wake up I need my Lord
When I wake up I need my Lord
When I wake up I begin to pray
Lord give me strength that I need today
Cause when I wake up I need my Lord
[Repeat]

When I go to sleep I need my Lord
When I goin’ to sleep I need my Lord
When I try to put my head to bed
And I got to many thoughts in my head
When I try to sleep I need my Lord

When I go out the house I need my Lord
When I go out the house I need my Lord
When I go and try to drive somewhere,
Or when I step out the door to walk myself there
When I go out the house I need my Lord

When I talk to someone I need my Lord
When I talk to anyone I need my Lord
When I try to say somethin’ to them
I want something that would come from him
When I talk to someone I need my Lord

When I go to work I need my Lord
When I’m goin to my job, I need my Lord
When I’m trying to what I can
To bring home the bacon and the ham
When I go to work I need my Lord

When I quiet down I need my Lord
When I quiet myself down I need my Lord
Try to quiet my bones
And I sit myself right down alone
When I quiet down I need my Lord

When I wake up I need my Lord
When I wake up I need my Lord
When I wake up I begin to pray
Give me strength that I need today
Cause when I wake up I need my Lord

J, I'm always inspired by your honest creativity. There's an urgency in the music that gives the lyric a sense of desperation. Like "I REALLY need my Lord"! It's felt throughout the whole song.
Thank you for inviting me to join this! I've been too busy to FAWM this year and was happy to find a ZONG on your page after checking in.
Miss you friend! -Adam
