Lyrics for Dear Lord

Hey I wanna go back 40 years ago When my house caught on fire Junior, my only son Anora was my baby I won't forget, but I told Lord If you let me, I'll tell the world How good He is Well We went home That night Me and my husband And my two little children Was in the bedroom We went to sleep Ehh, ehh Three o' clock that morning The Lord said, get up Your house is on fire Your house is on fire Well, the smoke was so bad We went back to sleep I heard a voice Said, get up Your house is on fire My husband Went to the window He lift that window up Put me and my babies outside Soon he got outside That house blowed up All I could do All I could do Fell down on my knees I fell on my knees and told the Lord these words Dear Lord You been good to me Help me girls (Dear Lord) Ooh (You've been) Been good (good to me) You've been good You've been good Ooh (Dear Lord) You've been (You've been) You sure have been good (good to me) Yeah Y'all know what We could've been dead Should've been dead Sleeping in our graves But God spoke to Death He told Death, behave You got to behave You got to behave Leave my child alone And what I know, dear Lord You been good to me Y'all help me, y'all help me (Dear Lord) Ooh (You been) Sure been good (good to me) Say it again, just one more time (Dear Lord) You you (You been) (Good to me) I want y'all to help me say this Thank you Jesus (I thank you Jesus) Thank you Lord (I thank you Lord) Thank you Jesus (I thank you Jesus) I thank you Lord (I thank you Lord) You let me see one more day (I thank you Jesus) You let me see one more day (I thank you Lord) It could've been the other way (I thank you Jesus) It could've been the other way (I thank you Lord) It could've been the other way (I thank you Jesus) It could've been the other way (I thank you Lord) Thank you Jesus (I thank you Jesus) Thank you Lord (I thank you Lord) You sure been good to me (I thank you Jesus) You sure been good (I thank you Lord) You sure been good to me (I thank you Jesus) You sure been good (I thank you Lord) You been good to me (you been good to me) You been good to me (you been good to me) You been good to me (you been good to me) You been good, oooh Thank you Jesus (I thank you Jesus, I thank you) Thank you Jesus (I thank you Lord, I thank you) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank you Jesus, I thank you) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank you Lord, I thank you) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank you Jesus, I thank you) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank you Lord, I thank you) Come on, Deborah (I thank you Jesus, I thank you) (I thank you Lord, I thank you) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank him, I thank him) Anybody here wanna thank him (I thank the Lord, I thank him) Could've been dead and gone (I thank him, I thank him) Could've been dead and gone (I thank the Lord, I thank him) But the Lord let me live (I thank him, I thank him) He let me see it longer (I thank him the Lord, I thank him) I thank him (I thank him) I thank him (I thank him) I thank him (I thank him) I thank him (I thank him) Do you thank him (I thank him) Do you thank him (I thank him) Do you thank him (I thank him) Do you thank him (I thank him) Say yeah (yeah) I thank him (I thank him) Say yeah (yeah) I thank him (I thank him) Say yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Dear Lord You been good to me Hallelujah Somebody shout glory (glory) Somebody say yeah (yeah) Somebody say yeah (yeah) You been good to me (you been good to me) One more time Dear Lord You been good (ooh) to me (you sure been good to me) Let me hear ya Let me hear ya Let me hear ya Let me hear ya (Dear Lord) Ooh (You been good to me) And again, it could happen y'all Everytime I think about (Dear Lord) How good God is (you've been) It makes me cry (good to me) When nobody bothers me (Dear Lord) It makes me run (you been) With nobody behind me (good to me) It makes me feel rich, though so many times I don't have a dime Ahh ya ya ya (Dear Lord, you've been good to me) (Dear Lord, you've been good to me) Ooo (Dear Lord, you've been good to me)
