Classic Poem

Some seek de Lord and they don't seek him right,
Pray all day and sleep all night;
And I'll thank God, almost over, almost over, almost over,
(My Lord) And I'll thank God, almost over.

Sister, if your heart is warm,
Snow and ice will do you no harm.

I done been down, and I done been tried,
I been through the water, and I been baptized.

O sister, you must mind how you step on the cross,
Your foot might slip, and your soul get lost.

And when you get to heaven, you'll be able for to tell
How you shunned the gates of hell.

Wrestle with Satan and wrestle with sin,
Stepped over hell and come back agin.
