Canton Spirituals – Show Me The Way lyrics

I've been searchin' for a long time
I knew that it was something that
that I had to find (I've been searchin')
You should have seen me wringing my hands and crying
It was all because I couldn't find peace of mind
And it was then, oh I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way (the way, way)

And I searched and I searched
But I just couldn't find my way, yeah
But that day Lord, my life oh yes Sir
Seemed like I came to a dead end road
And it was then woah I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way

Well, I've been searchin for a long time
I knew that it was something that
that I had to find (I've been searchin')
You should have seen me wringing my hands and crying
It was all because I couldn't find peace of mind
And it was then oh I kneeled down to pray
I said come on Jesus show me the way

Sometimes I tell it Lord
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Come on Lord (show me the way)
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Oh my Lord ( show me the way)
You showed my mother (oh Lord)
You showed my father (show me the way)
You showed my sister (oh Lord)
You showed my brother (show me the way)

Have you ever asked Him (oh Lord)
Have you ever asked Him (show me the way)
Oh Lord (oh Lord)
Oh Lord (show me the way)
Oh Lordy (oh Lord)
Oh Lordy (show me the way)
Oh Lordy (oh Lord)
Oh my Lordy (show me the way)
And it was then, oh I kneeled down to pray
I said Lord will you show me the way (the way, way)
ooh yeah
