[Verse:]
I had a mammy for a nurse
When she could not be feeling worse
She'd take her troubles into church
And while the bells were ringing
She'd come out singing
[Refrain:]
The Lord done fixed up my eyes
I see Heaven way up there in the skies
Bless the Lord for fixin' my eyes
The Lord done fixed up my ears
I hear music like I ain't heard in years
Bless the Lord for fixin' my ears
The Lord done fixed up my heart
I got courage now
Ain't afraid somehow
The Lord done fixed up my soul
It was broken and the Lord made it whole
Bless the Lord for makin' my soul whole
Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord
[Patter:]
Down to the river, we'll go down to the river
And we'll wash our sins away
Down to the river and we'll ask the Forgiver
For his praise on Judgment Day
And we'll bless our Lord and say
I had a mammy for a nurse
When she could not be feeling worse
She'd take her troubles into church
And while the bells were ringing
She'd come out singing
[Refrain:]
The Lord done fixed up my eyes
I see Heaven way up there in the skies
Bless the Lord for fixin' my eyes
The Lord done fixed up my ears
I hear music like I ain't heard in years
Bless the Lord for fixin' my ears
The Lord done fixed up my heart
I got courage now
Ain't afraid somehow
The Lord done fixed up my soul
It was broken and the Lord made it whole
Bless the Lord for makin' my soul whole
Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord
[Patter:]
Down to the river, we'll go down to the river
And we'll wash our sins away
Down to the river and we'll ask the Forgiver
For his praise on Judgment Day
And we'll bless our Lord and say
