chorus:
i done made it up in my mind, to live correct, die right
i done made it up in my mind, to serve god till i die
well if you go down to yonder fold, to search among the sheep
you'll find him there, so i've been told
the one they love to keep
shoulda concentrated (on) the cross i bear
(to do) to set me free
i gambled on my time to wait
if there's a god for me
chorus
well i heard the voice of jesus say
come unto me and rest
(like i) find time to heap upon my breast
well, if you go down to yonder fold to search among the sheep
you'll find him there, so i've been told
the one they love to keep
chorus
'tis jesus christ i long to find, tell me where to begin
been here so long to heal my mind
and give my conscience ease
well i thank you friend for your advice
i'll find him if i can, and if i do i will rejoice
'cause christ is a friend of men.
