Jesus Be a Fence Around Me - The Soul Stirrers, Johnnie Taylor

I wonder

Is there anybody here

who late at midnight

sheds briny tears

all because you didn’t have

no one to help you along the way

and oh Lord?

And if there’s anyone

Lord Let me tell you,

let me tell you what I’ve done

I’ve achieved

to be a fence around me but take me everyday

I told him

So what Jesus be a fence all around me When I get burned

So Jesus I wanted you protected me as I travel all alone

Sometimes it will hurt to your heart

to see no one, no one to the bar

But all you’ve been dead

dead to no stranger to anyone

and oh Lord?

But just the Lord as you stay in the foul

you never have to worry

when death know on your door

That’s our Jesus to be a fence around me and you never have to worry anymore

Just burn down

So what Jesus be a fence all around me When I get burned

So Jesus I wanted you protected me as I travel all alone

When you get no land

So what Jesus be a fence all around me Oh Jesus be a fence

as I travel on my way
