The Lord’s Lariat versuri

Versuri Tennessee Ernie Ford – The Lord's Lariat lyrics

(Ah! Ooh!)

As you travel down life’s road,
Do you pack a heavy load
That the Devil and his sins have laid on you?
Why, that load that you pack
You can shake right off your back;
Let the Lord’s lariat drop over you! (Over you!)

Oh, the Lord’s lariat has a small loop,
But He’ll catch you if you walk just right.
The old black Devil’s got a hot brand of iron,
Ready to cinch you up tight.
Don’t turn to the left, don’t turn to the right;
If you let Him, He will show you through.
Look up to the light,
And pray with all your might,
And let the Lord’s lariat drop over you!

In this world of grief and strife,
Why do people spend their life
In godless ways and sinful things to do?
Better get out of Satan’s fold;
Get where Jesus can take hold
And let His shining lariat drop over you! (Over you!)

Oh, the Lord’s lariat has a small loop,
But He’ll catch you if you walk just right.
The old black Devil’s got a hot brand of iron,
Ready to cinch you up tight.
Don’t turn to the left, don’t turn to the right;
If you let Him, He will show you through.
Look up to the light,
And pray with all your might,
And let the Lord’s lariat drop over you!

Oh, the time will come, my friend,
When you’ve got to face the end.
Will He look at you and say, „I know not thee?”
Let’s all drop down on our knees
And pray, „Dear Lord, if you please,
Let your shining lariat drop over me!”

Oh, the Lord’s lariat has a small loop,
But He’ll catch you if you walk just right.
The old black Devil’s got a hot brand of iron,
Ready to cinch you up tight.
Don’t turn to the left, don’t turn to the right;
If you let Him, He will show you through.
Look up to the light,
And pray with all your might,
And let the Lord’s lariat drop over you!
Let the Lord’s lariat drop over you! (Ooh!)
