90. I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray

Chorus:
And I couldn’t hear nobody pray:
And I couldn’t hear nobody pray,
O way down yonder by myself
And I couldn’t hear nobody pray.

1 In the valley!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
On my knees!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
With my burden!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
And my Savior!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
O Lord! [Chorus]

2 Chilly waters!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
In the Jordan!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Crossing over!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Into Canaan!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
O Lord! [Chorus]

3 Hallelujah!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
Troubles over!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
In the kingdom!
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
With my Jesus,
A-couldn’t hear nobody pray,
O Lord! [Chorus]
