BEEN IN THE STORM SO LONG	I BEEN IN DE STORM SO LONG

I been in the storm so long	I been in de storm so long,
You know I been in the storm so long,	I been in de storm so long, chillun,
Singing, Oh Lord, give me more time to pray	I been in de storm so long,
I been in the storm so long.	Oh, gimme little time to pray.

This is a needy time,	Oh, let me tell you, Mother, hown I come 'long,
Singing, this is a needy time	Oh, gimme little time to pray,
Singing, Oh Lord, give me more time to pray	With a hung down head and an achin' heart,
I been in the storm so long.	Oh, gimme little time to pray.

I am a motherless child	'Cause I been in de storm so long,
Singing, I am a mother less child,	I been in de storm so long, chillun,
Singing, Oh Lord, give me more time to pray,	I been in de storm so long,
I been in the storm so long.	Oh, gimme little time to pray.

Lord, I need you now	Now when I get to Heaven I'll take my seat,
Lord, I need you now,	Oh, gimme little time to pray,
Singing, Oh Lord, give me more time to pray,	An-a cast my crown at my Jesus' feet,
I been in the storm so long.	Oh, gimme little time to pray.

I been in the storm so long,	I been in de storm so long,
Singing I been in the storm so long	I been in de storm so long, chillun,
Singing, Oh Lord, give me more time to pray,	I been in de storm so long,
I been in the storm so long.	Oh, gimme little time to pray.
