Beams Of Heaven Lyrics - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Beams of heaven as I go, 

Through the wilderness below, 

Guide my feet in peaceful ways, 

Turn my midnights into days. 

When in the darkness i would grope, 

Faith always sees a star of hope, 

And soon from all life's grief and danger 

I shall be free someday. 

I do not know how long 'twill be, 

Nor what the future holds for me, 

But this i know: if jesus leads me, 

I shall get home someday. 

Oftentimes my sky is clear, 

Joy abounds without a tear; 

Though a day so bright begun, 

Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. 

There'll be a day that's always bright, 

A day that never yields to night, 

And in its light the streets of glory 

I shall behold someday. 

I do not know how long 'twill be, 

Nor what the future holds for me, 

But this i know: if jesus leads me, 

I shall get home someday. 

Harder yet may be the fight; 

Right may often yield to might; 

Wickedness a while may reign; 

Satan's cause may seem to gain. 

There is a god that rules above, 

With hand of power and heart of love; 

If i am right, he'll fight my battle, 

I shall have peace someday. 

I do not know how long 'twill be, 

Nor what the future holds for me, 

But this i know: if jesus leads me, 

I shall get home someday. 

Burdens now may crush me down, 

Disappointments all around; 

Troubles speak in mournful sigh, 

Sorrow through a tear-stained eye. 

There is a world where pleasure reigns, 

No mourning soul shall roam its plains, 

And to that land of peace and glory 

I shall want to go someday. 

I do not know how long 'twill be, 

Nor what the future holds for me, 

But this i know: if jesus leads me, 

i shall get home someday.
