When I closed my eyes and would not see
My lord did trouble me
When I let things stand that should not be
My lord did trouble me
When I held my head too high too proud
My lord did trouble me
When I raised my voice too little too loud
My lord did trouble me.
Did trouble me
With a word or a sign
With a ringing of a bell in the back of my mind
Did trouble me
And stir my soul
To make me human make me whole.
When I slept too long, slept too deep
My lord…
Put a worrisome vision into my sleep
My lord…
When I held myself away and apart
My lord….
And the tears of my brother didn't stir my heart
My lord…
Did trouble me with a word, a sign
With the ringing of a bell in the back of my mind
Did trouble me
And stir my soul
To make me human make me whole
This I've learned, this I know
My lord will trouble me
Whatever I do, wherever I go
My lord will trouble me
In the whisper of the wind, in the ringing of a song
My lord will …
Keep me on the path where I belong.
My lord will….
