Good Jesus ain't so far away Good Jesus ain't so far away Please help me gettin' through slavery one more day
Being locked in these four walls ain't gonna be my fate Being locked in these four walls ain't gonna be my fate Got to start singin' my blues before it's too late
The more I move forward the more it hurts my neck The more I move forward the more it hurts my neck One thing I'm sure I'd rather go blind than lookin' back
Walkin' over muddy water can't be done fast Walkin' over muddy water can't be done fast I cry good Jesus help me get over my past.
