ANYBODY HERE? Old Plantation Hymns by William Eleazar Barton (Boston, etc.: Lamson, Wolffe and Company, 1899
CHORUS: Is there anybody here who loves my Jesus?
Anybody here who loves my Lord?
Oh I want to know if you love my Jesus
Oh I want to know of you love my Lord.
VERSE: The angel's wings were tipped with gold,
That bro't salvation to my soul.
VERSE: What kind of shoes do you wear,
That you can walk on the air?
This world is a wilderness of woe
Let us all to glory go
I do believe without a doubt,
A Christian has a right to shout.
Religion is a blooming rose
And none but them that feel it know
You say you're aiming for the skies,
Why don't you stop your telling lies.
When ev’ry star refuse to shine
I know King Jesus will be mine.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE?- John Work
Is there anybody here who loves my Jesus?
Anybody here who loves my Lord?
I want to know if you love my Jesus
I want to know of you love my Lord
This world is a wilderness of woe
So let us to glory go
Religion is a blooming rose
And none but them who feel it know
When I was blind I could not see
King Jesus brought the light to me
When ev’ry star refuse to shine
I know King Jesus will be mine
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE?- Traditional Spiritual; Transcribed from Jennifer Bynum
REFRAIN: Is there anybody here who loves my Jesus?
Anybody here who loves my Lord?
I want to know if you love-a my Jesus.
I want to know if you love-a my Lord.
VERSE:
When I was blind and could not see,
King Jesus brought the light to me.
And when every star refused to shine,
I know King Jesus will be mine.
(repeat refrain and verse)
Oh, Brother this world is a wilderness of woe
So let us all to glory go
Cause religion is like a bloomin rose
And all who sees it, feels it knows
BRIDGE:
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous shall see God.
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous shall see God.
(repeat refrain)
