O, Death, O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? Well, what is this that I can't see With ice cold hands takin' hold of me? Well, I am Death, none can excel, I'll open the door to heaven or hell. "Whoa, Death", someone would pray, "Could you wait to call me another day?" The children prayed, the preacher preached, Time and mercy is out of your reach. I'll fix your feet so you can't walk. I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk. I'll close your eyes so you can't see. This very hour, come and go with me. I'm Death; I come to take the soul, Leave the body and leave it cold, To drop the flesh off of the frame; The earth and worm both have a claim. O, Death, O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? My mother came to my bed, Placed a cold towel upon my head. My head is warm, my feet are cold. Death is a-movin upon my soul. Oh, Death how you're treating me. You've closed my eyes so I can't see. Well, you're hurting my body, You make me cold. You run my life right out of my soul. Oh, Death please consider my age. Please don't take me at this stage. My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hand. Oh, the young, the rich or poor Hunger like me you know. No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul. O, Death, O, Death, Won't you spare me over til another year? Won't you spare me over til another year? Won't you spare me over til another year?
When Jesus was around here on this land He certainly did do his Father's command Because He knew that He was his Father's only son He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all Lift Him up in His word If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go He will draw men unto Him
When Jesus met the woman at Jakob's well He certainly did have a sweet message to tell The woman commenced wondering because she seen He was a Jew He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all Lift Him up in His word If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go He will draw men unto Him
When she learnt that it was Jesus she ran into the town Saying come and see a man who told me all that I had done Is this not the messenger which is called Christ? He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all Lift Him up in His word If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go He will draw men unto Him
When He asked her for some water her sin she tried to hide She commenced telling the Savior all about race pride But woman if you just only knew the gift of God I came to draw men unto me

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun Oh, come Angel Band come and around me stand Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home
Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me Whose blood now cleanses from all sin and gives me victory Oh, come Angel Band come and around me stand Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home Oh bear me away on your snow white wings to my immortal home
