Nobody knows



This is a song that you've probably heard made fun of over the years (usually with just the refrain being heard), but considering the context of suffering that it originated from, it is actually a very beautiful song.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows the trouble but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory Hallelujah!

Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down
Oh, yes, Lord
Sometimes I’m almost to the ground
Oh, yes, Lord

Although you see me going along so
Oh, yes, Lord
I have my trials here below
Oh, yes, Lord

If you get there before I do
Oh, yes, Lord
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
Oh, yes, Lord
