When the Saints
Lyricist:Sara Groves
Lord I have a heavy burden of all I've seen and know It's more than I can handle But your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones And I can't let it go
And when I'm weary and overwrought With so many battles left unfought
I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars And when the saints go marching in And I wanna be one of them
Lord it's all that I can carry and cannot leave behind It all can overwhelm me But when I think of all who've gone before and lived the faithful life Their courage compels me
And when I'm weary and overwrought With so many battles left unfought
I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars I see the shepherd Moses in the Pharaoh's court I hear his call for freedom for the people of the Lord

I see the long quiet walk along the Underground Railroad I see the slave awakening to the value of her soul I see the young missionary and the angry spear I see his family returning with no trace of fear
I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights I see the sisters standing by the dying mans side I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor I see the man with a passion come and kicking down that door
I see the man of sorrow and his long troubled road I see the world on his shoulders and my easy load
And when the saints go marching in I wanna be one of them And when the saints go marching in I wanna be one of them
I wanna be one of them I wanna be one of them I wanna be one of them
