Píseň: Jesus, Wash Away My Troubles

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
In The Beginning
Jesus, wash away my troubles
 While I'm traveling here below
 For I, I got enemies, Lord, you know
 And Jesus, wash away my burdens
 For they are so hard to bear
 But I know there's consolation
 As long as I know you're there, yes, it is
 As long as I know you're there, yes, it is


 You know sometimes I feel like a motherless child
 I'm a long way from home
 You know sometimes I feel like a [unverified] ghost
 A long way from home


 But Jesus, take me on to glory
 Lord, when I, when I die
 For I know that day is coming
 Is coming by and by
