Sara Groves - When the saints

^DLord I have a heavy ^Aburden of all I've seen and ^Dknow It's more than I can ^Ahandle But ^Dyour word is burning like a ^Afire shut up in my ^Dbones and I can't let it g^Ao

And when I'm ^Emin7weary and over^Gwrought with so ^Bminmany battles left un^Efought

I think of ^GPaul and ^DSilas in the ^Gprison ^Dyard I hear their ^Gsong of ^Dfreedom ^Arising to the stars

And when the ^BminSaints ^A go marching ^Gin I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem

^DLord it's all that I can't ^Acarry and cannot leave be^Dhind It often over^Awhelms me But ^Dwhen I think of all who've gone be^Afore and lived the faithful ^Dlife their courage com^Apells me

And when I'm ^Emin7weary and over^Gwrought with so ^Bminmany battles left un^Efought

I think of ^GPaul and ^DSilas in the ^Gprison ^Dyard I hear their ^Gsong of ^Dfreedom ^Arising to the stars

I see the ^Gshepherd ^DMoses in the ^GPharohs ^Dcourt I hear his ^Gcall for ^Dfreedom for the ^Apeople of the Lord And when the ^BminSaints ^A go marching ^Gin I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem And when the ^BminSaints ^A go marching ^Gin I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem

I see the ^Glong quiet ^Dwalk along the ^GUnderground Rail^Droad I see the ^Gslave a^Dwakening to the ^Avalue of her soul

I see the ^Gyoung missio^Dnary and the ^Gangry ^Dspear I see his ^Gfamily re^Dturning with no ^Atrace of fear

I see the ^Glong hard ^Dshadows of ^GCalcutta ^Dnights I see the ^Gsisters ^Dstanding by the ^Adying man's side

I see the ^Gyoung girl ^Dhuddled on the ^Gbrothel ^Dfloor I see the ^Gman with a ^Dpassion come and ^Akicking down the door

I see the ^Gman of ^Dsorrows and his ^Glong troubled ^Droad I see the ^Gworld on his ^Dshoulders and my ^Aeasy load

And when the ^BminSaints ^A go marching ^Gin I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem And when the ^BminSaints ^A go marching ^Gin I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem I want to ^Dbe one of ^Gthem
