Lyrics for Lord I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes My mother, she's in glory Thank God I'm on my way Father, he's gone too And my sister she could not stay I'm trusting Him everyday He will bear my burden away Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes I thought when she first left me I'd grieve for a little while Soon it all would be over And I'd journey on with a smile But the thought as I get older I think of what I told her Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
