Did Trouble Me

When I close my eyes, so I would not see,

My Lord did trouble me.

When I let things stand that should not be,

My Lord did trouble me.Did trouble me,

With a word or a sign,

With a ring of a bell in the back of my mind.

Did trouble me,

Did stir my soul,

For to make me human, to make me whole.When I slept too long and I slept too deep,

Put a worrisome vision into my sleep.

When I held myself away and apart,

And the tears of my brother didn't move my heart.Did trouble me,

With a word and a sign,

With a ringing of a bell in the back of my mind.

Did trouble me,

Did stir my soul

For to make me human, to make me whole.And of this I'm sure, of this I know:

My Lord will trouble me.

Whatever I do, wherever I go,

My Lord will trouble me.In the whisper of the wind, in the rhythm of a song

My Lord will trouble me.

To keep me on the path where I belong,

My Lord will trouble me.Will trouble me,

With a word or a sign,

With the ringing of a bell in the back of my mind.

Will trouble me,

Will stir my soul,

For to make me human, to make me whole.To make me human, to make me whole.
