Subject: Ain't Got Time to Die


Hi David,

 

Yes, I am the same person. Ain't Got Time to Die is an old Negro Spiritual that I have been singing for years. In fact, I sing it at the beginning of all my concerts. I do not know of a recording but perhaps, you can find it on the internet. As you know, there's a whole lot of stuff out there.

 

Here are the lyrics:

Verse:

 

Lord, I keep so busy working for the Kingdom

Keep so busy working for the Kingdom.

Keep so busy working for the Kingdom.

I ain't got time to die.

 

Chorus:

"Cause it takes all of my time to praise my Jesus.

All of my time, to praise the Lord.

And if   I don't praise Him, the rocks gonna cry out.

Glory and honor, glory and honor.

I ain't got time to die.

 

The other verses can be:

Lord, I keep so busy;

Singing for the Master

Praising my Jesus

Shouting Hallelujah

Or any other words you feel that fit.

 

Chorus:

"Cause it takes all of my time to praise my Jesus.

All of my time, to praise the Lord.

An if I don't   praise Him, the rocks gonna cry out.

Glory and honor, glory and honor.

I ain't got time to die.

 

Reprise:

Why don't you get outta my way, let me praise my Jesus.

Get outta my way, let me praise the Lord.

'Cause if I don't praise Him, the rocks gonna cry out.

Glory and honor, glory and honor.

I ain't got time to die.

 

Special Reprise:

I ain't got time to die. 

Keep on trusting.

I ain't got time to die. 

You better believe it.

I ain't got time to die. 

Keep on praising.

I ain't got time to die. 

Keep on singing.

I ain't got time to die. 

Keep on clapping.

I ain't got time to die. 

Keep on dancing.

I ain't got time to die. 

He's my Savior.

I ain't got time to die. 

He's my teacher.

 

Use other ad libs but close each line with:

I ain't got time to die. 

 

Please let me know how this turns out for you. You may call me at 301 583 8585 if you need the tune.

 

Gob Bless You Too,
