When I closed my eyes so I 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 the ringing of the bell in the back of my mind Did trouble me Did stir my soul For to make me human, to make me whole When I slept too long, slept too deep My Lord did trouble me Put a worrisome vision into my sleep My Lord did trouble me When I held myself away and apart My Lord did trouble me And the tears of my brother did move my heart My Lord did trouble me Did trouble me With a word or a sign With the ringing of the bell in the back of my mind Did trouble me Did stir my soul For to make me human, to make me whole And of this I'm sure, of this I know My Lord will trouble me Whatever I do and wherever I go My Lord will trouble me In the whisper of the wind, in the rhythm of a song My Lord will trouble me To keep me on the path where I belong My Lord will trouble me Will trouble me With a word or a sign With the ringing of the bell in the back of my mind Will trouble me Will stir my soul For to make me human, to make me whole Make me human, to make me whole
