Rock Me - Alternate Original - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Now won’t you hear me singin

Hear the words that I’m saying

Wash my soul with water from on high

Why the world loves love is around me Even forced to buy me But oh, if you leave me,

I will die

You hold me in the bosom

Till the storms of life is over

Rock me in the cradle of our love

Only feed me till I want no more

Then you take me to your blessed home above

Make me journey

You make my burning brighter

Help me to do good wherever I can

Oh, let thou praise and thrill me Thou loving kindess fill me Then you hold me Hold me in the hollow of the hand

You hold me in the bosom

Till storms of life is over

Rock me in the cradle of our love

Only feed

Then you’ll take me to your blessed home above
