In My time of Dyin'
Original lyric and music written by Blind Willie Johnson

Well, in my time of dyin' don't want nobody to mourn.
All I want for you to do is take my body home.
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Well, meet me, Jesus, meet me, meet me in the middle of the air.
If these wings should fail me, Lord, won't you meet me with another pair?
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.

Lord, in my time of dyin' don't want nobody to cry.
All I want to you to do is take me when I die.
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Well, well, well.
Well, well, well,
so I can die easy.
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up,
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed.
