SING TO DE LAWD!

Malcolm Schloss


De Lawd loves music,
An' de Lawd likes grace —
So sing to de Lawd
Wid a shinin' face.

Fo' de Lawd am here,
An' de Lawd am dere,
An'de Lawd am listenin'
Everywhere.

De Lawd loves rhythm
An' you can't go wrong
If you dance fo' de Lawd
De whole day long.

Fo' de Lawd am here,
An' de Lawd am dere,
A-listenin', a-lookin'
Everywhere.

De Lawd has power,
Oh, de Lawd am free —
He kin do what He likes
Wid you an' me.

Fo' de Lawd am here,
An' de Lawd am dere,
A-figgerin', a-workin'
Everywhere.

De Lawd has plenty —
He kin clothe, an' feed,
An' perteck His chillum
From ev'ry need.

Fo' de Lawd am here,
An' de Lawd am dere,
An' de Lawd owns all things
Everywhere.
