I Shall Not Walk Alone Lyrics


Battered and torn
Still I can see the light
Tattered and worn
But I must kneel to fightFriend of mine
What can't you spare?
I know some times
It gets cold in thereWhen my legs no longer carry
And the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
And I shall not walk aloneHope is alive
While we're apart
Only tears
Speak for my heartBreak the chains
That hold us down
And we shall be
Forever boundWhen I'm tired and weary
And a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary

And I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk aloneBeauty that
We left behind
How shall we
Tomorrow find?Set aside
Our weight in sin
So that we
Can live againWhen my legs no longer carry
And the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
And I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

When The Blind Boys of Alabama open their mouths to sing, what comes out is older than salvation, older than redemption. It is the sound of oppression and struggle. It is the sound of revelation and liberation. It is a sound as old as time. The Blind Boys of Alabama are the pyramids of gospel music; the birthplace of sacred soul.
The three original members of the group, (which started out in 1939, as The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama) Clarence Fountain, Jimmy Carter, and George Scott, are all in their mid to late seventies and are all completely blind.
