I been in de storm so long

Refrain

I been in de storm so long,

I been in de storm so long, chillun,

I been in de storm so long,

Oh, gimme little time to pray.

Oh, let me tell you, Mother, how I come 'long,

Oh, gimme little time to pray,

With a hung down head and an achin' heart,

Oh, gimme little time to pray.

Refrain

Now when I get to Heaven I'll take my seat,

Oh, gimme little time to pray,

An-a cast my crown at my Jesus' feet,

Oh, gimme little time to pray.
