When the Saints Sara Groves
Intro: F / C Bb / F / C
[F]Lord I have a heavy [C]burden of all I've s[Bb]een and know[F]
[(F)]It's more than I can [C]handle
But [F]Your word is burning like a [C]fire shut up [Bb]in my bo[F]nes
[(F)]And I can't let it g[C]o
And when I'm [Gm]weary and [Am]over [Bb]- wrought
With so [Dm]many battles left un [G]- fought
I think of [Bb]Paul and[F] Silas in the [Bb]prison[F] yard
I hear their [Bb]song of[F] freedom [C]rising to the stars
And when th[Dm]e Sai[C]nts go marching[G] in
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb]
[F]Lord it's all that I can't [C]carry and [Bb]cannot leave behind[F]
It all can over[C]whelm me
But when [F]I think of all who've gone bef[C]ore and lived a fai[Bb]thful life[F]
Their courage compels[C] me
And when I'm [Gm]weary and [Am]over [Bb]- wrought
With so [Dm]many battles left un [G]- fought
I think of [Bb]Paul and[F] Silas in the [Bb]prison[F] yard
I hear their [Bb]song of[F] freedom [C]rising to the stars
I see the [Bb]shepherd[F] Moses in the [Bb]pharaohs[F] court
I hear his [Bb]call for[F] freedom
For the [C]people of the Lord
And when th[Dm]e Sai[C]nts go marching[G] in
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb] [F]
And when th[Dm]e Sai[C]nts go marching[G] in
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb]
I see the [Bb]long qui[F]et walk along the [Bb]underground [F]railroad
I see the [Bb]slave aw[F]akening to the [C]value of her soul
I see the [Bb]young mi[F]ssionary and the a[Bb]ngry[F] spear
I see his [Bb]family [F]returning with no [C]trace of fear
I see the [Bb]long ha[F]rd shadows of Cal[Bb]cutta[F] nights
I see the[Bb] sist[F]er standing by the [C]dying man's side
I see the [Bb]young gi[F]rl huddled on the [Bb]brothel[F] floor
I see the[Bb] man with [F]a passion come and [C]kicking down that door
I see the [Bb]man of[F] sorrow and His [Bb]long trou[F]bled road
I see the[Bb] world on [F]His shoulders and my [C]easy load
And when th[Dm]e Sai[C]nts go marching[G] in
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb] [F]
And when th[Dm]e Sai[C]nts go marching[G] in
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb] [F]
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb] [F]
I want to [Bb]be one [F]of them[Bb] [F]
I want to [Bb]be one of them
