Lyrics Jesus Be a Fence Around Me - Sam Cooke, The Soul Stirrers

Jesus Be a Fence Around Me

I wonder
Is there anybody here
who late at midnight
sheds briny tears
all because you didn’t have
no one to help you along the way
and oh Lord?
And if there’s anyone
Lord Let me tell you,
let me tell you what I’ve done
I’ve achieved
to be a fence around me but take me everyday
I told him
So what Jesus be a fence all around me When I get burned
So Jesus I wanted you protected me as I travel all alone
Sometimes it will hurt to your heart
to see no one, no one to the bar
But all you’ve been dead
dead to no stranger to anyone
and oh Lord?
But just the Lord as you stay in the foul
you never have to worry
when death know on your door
That’s our Jesus to be a fence around me and you never have to worry anymore
Just burn down
So what Jesus be a fence all around me When I get burned
So Jesus I wanted you protected me as I travel all alone
When you get no land
So what Jesus be a fence all around me Oh Jesus be a fence
as I travel on my way
