Show GET SOMEBODY ELSE. The Lord had a Job for me, But I had so much to do I said, "You get somebody else, Or wait till I get through." I don't know how the Lord came out. But He seemed to get along; But I felt a kind o' sneakin' like Knowed I'd done God wrong. One day I needed the Lord, Needed Hi mrlght away, But He never answered me at all,, Anrt T pnnld hpnr TTIm nnv Down in my accusing heart: "Nigger, I'se got too much to do You get somebody else. Or wait till I get through." Now, when the Lord He have a job for me I never tries to shirk; I drops what I have on hand, And does the good Lord's work. And my affairs can run along, Or wait till I get through; Nobody else can do the work That God marked out for you. Paul Lawrence Dunbar. |
