Cain't Silence My Soul (Inspired by the movie--Uncle Tom's Cabin with Avery Brooks)

Here lays I, Jesus,

Left here fo' to die,

But I won't yell out, Jesus.

No, I will not cry.

Tho' my body be broken,

And I be's short of breath,

And I'se left here dear Jesus,

At the do' of col' death,

Nobody, my Lord,

No matta what dey do,

Dey cain't silence my soul,

When it's singing to you.

Now I lays here, dear Jesus,

Weak, tired, and col'

Bloody and broken,

In body, not soul,

And tho' dey done beat me,

And left me fo' dead,

There's song in my heart,

And song in my head.

Now, I sees you sweet Jesus,

In yo' halo of gol'

And I'se singing sweet Jesus,

Dey cain't silence my soul.
