Why should I feel discouraged?. And why should the shadows come?. Why should my heart be lonely. And long for Heaven and home?. . When Jesus is my captain.
How sweet to be an Idiot,. As harmless as a cloud,. Too small to hide the sun. Almost poking fun,. At the warm but insecure untidy crowd.. . How sweet to be an idiot,.
Steamin' down the muddy waters. Travelin' yonder from bay to bay. I been workin' on the barge line. Fourteen years ago today. Eighteen hours hard labor by the day.
And I don't ever want to see you blue,. oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you. And maybe hope you could know me too.. Well I don't ever want to make you sorry.
He seeks and he hides. He lives and he dies. He saw it before we were dreaming. He'll hustle you down. A tin can or a crown. But he'll never play with your feelings.
Your love keeps lifting me higher and higher. Your love keeps lifting me higher and higher. . Your love is lifting me higher. Than I ever been lifted before.
