Artist/Band: Sara Groves
Lyrics for Song: When The Saints
Lyrics for Album: Tell Me What You Know [2007]



Lord, I have a heavy burden

Of all I've seen and known.

It's more than I can handle

But your word is burning like a fire

Shut up in my bones

And I can't let it go



And when I'm weary and overwrought

With so many battles left unfought

I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard

I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

And when the saints go marching in

I wanna be one of them



Lord, it's all that I can carry

Can I leave behind

It all can overwhelm me

But when I think of all who've gone before

And lived the faithful life

Their courage compels me



And when I'm weary and overrun

With so many battles left unfought

I think of Paul and Silas in the prison yard

I hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

I see the sheperd, Moses, in the pharoah's court

I hear his call of freedom for the people of the Lord

And when the saints go marching in

I wanna be one of them

And when the saints go marching in

I wanna be one of them



I see the long, quiet walk along the underground railroad

I see the slave awaken to the value of his soul

I see the young missionary and the angry spear

I see his family returning with no trace of fear

I see the long hard shadows of Calcutta nights

I see the sister standing by the dying man's side

I see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor

I see the man with a passion come and kickin down that door

I see the man of sorrow and his long troubled road

I see the world on his shoulders and my easy road

And when the saints go marching in

I wanna be one of them

And when the saints go marching in

I wanna be one of them

I wanna be one of them

I wanna be one of them

I wanna be one of them
