Jesus Lay Down Beside Me
Mavis Staples

[Verse 1]

The world is big

And often wrong

But truth is bigger

And twice as strong

Some times ain't pretty, some times ain't nice

But hold your ground, dry your eyes

Here take my word, take my life

Don't cry

They say they love you when juices flowing

When money's gone they must be going

Sometimes they pray coming from a friend

But you'll be ready if it happens again

You take my word, take my life

Don't cry

[Chorus]

Don't cry when they wanna sell ya

Don't cry when they wanna fight

Don't cry when they won't believe ya, when you know you're right

Don't cry when they wanna paint you in to a corner of their design

It's your innocent blood they want, it's your innocent mind

[Chorus]

Don't cry when they wanna sell ya

Don't cry when they wanna fight

Don't cry when they won't believe ya, when you know you're right

Don't cry when they wanna paint you in to a corner of their design

It's your innocent blood they want, it's your innocent mind

[Verse 2]

Well the world is bigger and often wrong

But your heart is bigger and twice as strong

Sometimes a mystery sometimes it's blind

It won't deceive you it doesn't lie

Here take my word, here take my life

Don't cry

Here take my word, here take my life

Don't cry

Here take my word, take my life

Don't cry
