EDWARDS, David Eugene


Black Soul Choir

Ain't none ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh & bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you
An when he's there you are alone

Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar
An unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
In the black soul choir

Yes and no man ever seen the face of my lord no
Not since he left his skin
He's the one you keep cold on the outside girl
He's at your door let him in

O I will forgive your wrongs
Yes I am Able
And for my own I feel great shame
I would offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I were Cain


The Good Hand

I am nothing without his ghost within
And all your wooden eyes cannot see
The good hand upon me

I took my shelter 'neath the familiar tree
I'm livin' where I come from
I am, I am a father's son
See the good hand, see what the good hand done

Leave it lye, let it go to ruin
To be blown thin by the wind
A heavy drone, a heavy sway
Girl, I love to see you talk that way

I live, I live among them
And they breathe forth fire
I run, I run fast and then I do not tire
For the good hand is upon me

I see you've chosen to lose your way
And greed with a clank from nothin'
Keep your word, captive in thought
You will give all, you will give all you've got

To the good hand upon me

Leave it lye, let it go to ruin
To be blown thin by the wind
A heavy drone, a heavy sway
Girl, I love to see you walk my way

She will understand
From the bottom of her heart
Embellished by pains engraving
Just how great thou art

Leave it lye, let it go to ruin
To be blown thin by the wind
A heavy drone, a heavy sway
Girl, I love to see you talk that way

…..

The good hand upon me
The good hand upon me
