My God called me this mornin, hey lordy
My God called me this mornin
Just a little while before day
My God called me this mornin, hey lordy
My God called me this mornin
Just a little while before day

Well I stopped and I listened
How sweet the voice did sound
It sounded like the beat, beat, beatin of the angel's wings
As if from heaven come down
Then I stags and I steady myself
I looked but I saw no one til I go way up in glory
And I saw God's darlin son
Let me tell you that the prayer wheel
Start to turnin and the spirit of God
Set my soul burnin and the prayer wheel turned over
And I moved one step on to glory
And I rose up a shoutin lord God almighty
My God called me this mornin
Just a little while before day

Then I heard the rumblin thunder hey lordy
And I saw the sinner goin under now
Just a little while before day
Then I saw the zig zag lightnin
And I heard the hell hound barkin
A little while before day
Well listen, let me tell you what my God said to me
He said if you want to make it to the kingdom
You got to get on your bended knee

The prayer wheel start to bumpin
And the spirit of God set my soul jumpin
And the prayer wheel turned over
And I moved one step on to glory and I rose up shoutin
Lord God almighty well
My God called me this mornin just a little while before day
