JOSH WHITE: JESUS MAKE UP MY DYING BED

In the time of dying
I don't want nobody to moan
All I want my friends to do,
Come and fold my dying arms

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

In the time time of dying
I don't want nobody to cry
All I want my friends to do,
Come and close my dying eyes

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Goin' on down to the river
Stick my sword up in the sand
Gonna shout, "My trouble's over,
I've done made it to the Promised Land."

Well, well, well, I've done crossed over
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, I've done crossed over
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

He's a dying bed maker
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, He's a dying bed maker
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Goin' on down to the river
Stick my sword up in the sand
Gonna shout, "My trouble's over,
I've done made it to the Promised Land."

Well, well, well, I've done crossed over
Well, well, well, I've done crossed over
Well, well, well, I've done crossed over
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
And if these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair?

Well, well, well, won't you meet me, Jesus?
Well, well, well, won't you meet me, Jesus?
Well, well, well, won't you meet me, Jesus?
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Well, well, well, won't you meet me, Jesus?
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, won't you meet me, Jesus?
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
JESUS GONNA MAKE UP MY DYING BED

Now in the time of dying
I don't want nobody to moan
All I want my friends to do
Come and fold my dying arms
Well well well so I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Meet me Jesus, meet me
Won't you meet me in the middle of the air?
And if these wings should fail me, Lord
Won't you meet me with another pair?
Well well well won't you meet me Jesus?
Well well well
Well well well
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

I'm goin' on down to the river
Stick my sword up in the sand
Gonna shout “My trouble's over, Lord
I've done made it to the Promised Land”
Well well well I've done crossed over
Well well well
Well well well
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Ever since I been acquainted with Jesus
We haven't been a minute apart
He placed a receiver in my hands
True religion in my heart
Well well well I can ring up my Jesus
Well well well
Well well well

Goin' on down to the river
I'm goin' on down to the river
Stick my sword up in the sand
Gonna shout “My trouble's over, Lord
I've done made it to the Promised Land”
Well well well I've done crossed over
Well well well
Well well well
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
