He Woke Me Up Again
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He was, he was in the churchyard
My father was in the first part
He came, he came to my bedroom
but I was asleep
He woke me up again to say:
Halle Halle Halleluiah
Holy Holy is the sound
And I hope, I hope you are tired out
And I know, I know there is joy endowed
But I was asleep
And he woke me up again
And he woke me up again to say
Hold on hold on to your old ways
Or put off put off every old face
And I know, I know you are changed out
I hope, I hope you're arranged out
But I'm still asleep
And you woke me up again
And I'm still asleep
But you woke me up to leave
