Classic Poem

I wait upon de Lord,
I wait upon de Lord,
I wait upon de Lord, my God, who take away de sin of the world.

If you want to find Jesus, go in the wilderness,
Go in de wilderness, go in de wilderness,
Mournin' brudder, go in de wilderness,
I wait upon de Lord.

You want to be a Christian.
You want to get religion.
If you spec' to be converted.
O weepin' Mary.
'Flicted sister.
Say, ain't you a member?
Half-done Christian.
Come, backslider.
Baptist member.
O seek, brudder Bristol.
Jesus a waitin' to meet you in de wilderness.
