Sara Groves - When the saints

^FLord I have a heavy ^Cburden of all I've s^Bbeen and know ^F (F) C It's more than I can handle But ^FYour word is burning like a ^Cfire shut up ^Bbin my bo^Fnes (F) C And I can't let it go

And when I'm ^Gmweary and ^Amover ^Bb- wrought With so ^Dmmany battles left un ^G- fought I think of ^BbPaul and^F Silas in the ^Bbprison^F yard I hear their ^Bbsong of^F freedom ^Crising to the stars And when th^Dme Sai^Cnts go marching^G in I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^Bb

^FLord it's all that I can't ^Ccarry and ^Bbcannot leave behind ^F It all can over^Cwhelm me But when ^FI think of all who've gone bef^Core and lived a fai^Bbthful life ^F Their courage compels^C me

And when I'm ^Gmweary and ^Amover ^Bb- wrought With so ^Dmmany battles left un ^G- fought I think of ^BbPaul and^F Silas in the ^Bbprison^F yard I hear their ^Bbsong of^F freedom ^Crising to the stars I see the ^Bbshepherd^F Moses in the ^Bbpharaohs^F court I hear his ^Bbcall for^F freedom For the ^Cpeople of the Lord

And when th^Dme Sai^Cnts go marching^G in I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^{Bb F} And when th^Dme Sai^Cnts go marching^G in I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^Bb

I see the ^Bblong qui^Fet walk along the ^Bbunderground ^Frailroad I see the ^Bbslave aw^Fakening to the ^Cvalue of her soul I see the ^Bbyoung mi^Fssionary and the a^Bbngry^F spear I see his ^Bbfamily ^Freturning with no ^Ctrace of fear I see the ^Bblong ha^Frd shadows of Cal^Bbcutta^F nights I see the^Bb sist^Fer standing by the ^Cdying man's side I see the ^Bbyoung gi^Frl huddled on the ^Bbbrothel^F floor I see the^Bb man with ^Fa passion come and ^Ckicking down that door I see the ^Bbman of^F sorrow and His ^Bblong trou^Fbled road I see the^Bb world on ^FHis shoulders and my ^Ceasy load

And when th^Dme Sai^Cnts go marching^G in I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^{Bb F} And when th^Dme Sai^Cnts go marching^G in I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^{Bb F} I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^{Bb F} I want to ^Bbbe one ^Fof them ^{Bb F} I want to ^Bbbe one of them
