Lyrics as "heard" and transliterated from track on CD "Brother Joe May: Live 1952-55"
Do you think He's the One?
Make it a little better than that:
Do you KNOW He's the One?
Amen.
That's why I want Him on the road I travel:
Every day of my life.
I want Jesus on the road, Lord, I travel every day.
I want Jesus to be with me, O Lord, this pilgrim's way:
To protect my weary soul; shield me from the storm and cold.
I want my Jesus all on my journey every day.
It don't matter where I go. Lord, I want Him every day.
If I'm going through the valley, mountain, be it may.
Oh, with the pitfalls so far ahead, smooth the way instead.
Well, I want Jesus all on my journey every day.
Yes, I want Him to lead me; and I want Him to keep me;
Want Him to seek me, when I lose my way.
I want the Lord to hold my hand, and take complete command.
I want my Jesus all on my journey every day.
Yes, I want Him, I want Him, I want Him: yea, you know you need Him.
I want Him to seek me, when I lose my way.
Well, well, well, I want Him to hold my hand - take complete command.
Oh, I want my Jesus all on my journey every day.
We can't get along without Him.
I believe we'd get along better if we'd learn to appreciate His blessings.
You know, sometimes they're not as large as we think they should be.
We won't say, "Thank the Lord!"
Amen.
We won't say, "Thank the Lord!"
We'll just, you know, well, "Just another little something added."
But I've found this out:
If you be careful; if you thank the Lord for whatever little bit it is;
After a while, He'll open up heaven on you. I'm a witness!
And that's why you hear me say,
"I thank Him, because He brought me from a long way."
Amen, and I have to look back sometimes,
And wonder how I got old.
But grace brought me thus far,
And I know it's sufficient to lead me on.
