Lyrics
[guitar intro] [Verse 1] Woke up this morning, burdens heavy on my soul, Trouble's knockin' at my door, but I won't lose control. Got no silver in my pocket, no gold to claim, But I'll keep on prayin', in Jesus' name. (Chorus) Oh, the delta wind's a-howlin', whispers through the pines, My heart's burdened by these deep south blues, but God's love shines. I'll lift my voice in song, let the spirit reign, Gonna keep on movin', through the sun and rain. (Verse 2) My man he's gone, left me with an empty bed, But I'll find strength in the Word, where true love's spread. In the shelter of His arms, I'll find my peace, Let the Holy Spirit guide me, give me sweet release. (Chorus) Oh, the delta wind's a-howlin', whispers through the pines, My heart's burdened by these deep south blues, but God's love shines. I'll lift my voice in song, let the spirit reign, Gonna keep on movin', through the sun and rain. (Bridge) Down by the river, where the waters flow so free, I'll lay down my troubles, let God's mercy be. In the arms of grace, I'll find my way, Let the gospel choir lift me up, let me hear them say. (Chorus) Oh, the delta wind's a-howlin', whispers through the pines, My heart's burdened by these deep south blues, but God's love shines. I'll lift my voice in song, let the spirit reign, Gonna keep on movin', through the sun and rain. (Verse 3) The moon is risin', casting shadows long and deep, But I'll walk in faith, no promises to keep. For the journey's long, but I'll trust the Lord, With His love as my guide, I'll find my reward. [Outro] Oh, the delta wind's a-howlin', whispers through the pines, My heart's burdened by these deep south blues, but God's love shines. (But God's love shines)
