Verse 1
D 
E 
A 
G 
D 
This is Brother
Lloyd Woodard
speaking for the Blind
Boys of Mississippi.
Bm 
The other day someone asked me,
D 
Brother Woodard,
F#m 
what  is an album?
Bm 
And  I said, well,
there are many kinds of albums.
F#m 
There are jazz albums,
rock and roll,
D 
Bm 
and even hill and country music.
E 
But we sing gospel songs,
A 
and the album we're going to do
tomorrow
D 
or the next day is a gospel album.
And she said, what is gospel?
Bm 
What is gospel singing?
And I said, gospel is
F#m 
the good news of God.
The telling of the story that Jesus died
D 
one day that you and I might live.
And that's what we've been doing
for 26 years, my dear, I said,
Bm 
F#m 
telling mankind about the goodness of God.
Bm 
And as I stand here today,
D 
and as I think back as the man
A 
ager and lead of the Blind boys,
G 
D 
Bm 
D 
I try to listen to all the things they like
F#m 
and include them in our album.
Well, there's young Bobby Jackson,
the guitarist.
Bm 
He loves to hear the beat,
F#m 
the ex    citing rhythm of a shout song.
Bm 
G 
And then there's Reverend Willie Minson,
Gm 
a young preacher from Ohio
G 
who loves the correlation of
F#m 
the   old biblical stories
A 
and the sound of music,
G 
a  wonderful sound.
D 
An d then there's Jimmy Carter,
our tenor singer.
Bm 
He  just loves to stand in his group
E 
Bm 
A 
and hear the harmonies blend to gether
D 
and know that somewhere from heaven
sounds are emanating to
Bm 
bless his little soul.
F#m 
G 
And J .T. Clinkscales, the bass singer,
likes to stand with us
Bm 
F#m 
and sing for   the joy of singing.
G 
Gm 
It doesn't matter what time of night you wake him up,
or what time of morning,
D 
he just loves to sing.
But every now and then
Bm 
he lets that big bass voice of his roll
out and shake the house.
G 
and Henry Johnson,
A 
D 
our lead singer.
F#m 
He loved to sing from his soul.
Bm 
The pathos and all the soul
F#m 
of the blind boys
Bm 
comes from Henry Johnson.
E 
A 
He just likes to stand back and shout,
D 
I'm going to leave you in the
hands of the Lord.
Great God Almighty.
Em 
F#m 
And then as I look over us all,
G 
Lord, would it your servant  here,
I like to think of five fine young men
Bm 
A 
standing around me singing as
Bm 
D 
God gave them voices to sing.
A 
Singing because there is a reality
D 
in saving  a true and living God.
In this album,
Em 
we tried to sing something like
D 
Oh Why, a beautiful song,
Em 
and then somewhere along the way,
we said,
D 
E 
Jesus rose with all power in his hand.
Em 
An  d then later on,
A 
we said, I've got something to shout about.
D 
Oh, I can tell the world
G 
how he brought me out.
D 
I've got something to shout about
and in concluding
I would say that over the years
Em 
D 
we've been traveling this man
Jesus that we're telling the
G 
good news about
D 
has led us along the way
every night and every
A 
D 
day he watches over me
He watches over me.
A 
I know I know He watches He watches
G 
D 
Over me you
