Lord you know how often I'm confused
and you know how often I've been used
But I keep my mind on you unless
I should be disturbed and lose Your rest
Often I am robbed of peace of mind
Often I’m tempted to be unkind
Try to keep my mouth shut 'cause it's best
focusing my mind on You means rest
kum-bah-yah-yay-ay-ay-ay (8x)
I have lived a life of careless ease
I've been doin’ whatever I please
ignoring what your Word says is best
and the things that You say will bring rest
now I've turned and I’m facing the light
and I'm living life with all my might
I know being near You is the best
Love God and your neighbor, be at rest
kum-bah-yah-yay-ay-ay-ay (8x)
I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your arm I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I'm leaning on your love, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your love I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your arm I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I'm leaning on your joy, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your joy I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your arm I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I'm leaning on your Word, yes indeed Lord
Oh without your Word I can't make it
no I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm.
I have lived a life of careless ease

I know being near You is the best
