Jim Kweskin - Bye and Bye lyrics

Well, bye and bye when the mornin' come All the saints got to gather at home Tell a story of how we'll overcome We'll understand it better bye and bye Now, tossed, and I were driven on the restless sea of time Tossed was causing howling winds all succeed a bright sunshine In the land of perfect days, when the mists have rolled away We will understand it better bye and bye Well, bye and bye when the mornin' come All the saints got to gather at home Tell a story of how we'll overcome We'll understand it better bye and bye Dark trials on every hand and we cannot understand All the ways that God will lead us to that distant promised land

But he guides us with his eyes and we'll follow till we die And we'll understand it better bye and bye I'm singin' now, bye and bye when the mornin' come All the saints got to gather at home Tell a story of how we'll overcome We'll understand it better bye and bye Temptation's hidden snares often takes us unawares And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word deed We wonder why it's a test when we try to do our best But we'll understand it better bye and bye Now, bye and bye when the mornin' come All the saints got to gather at home Tell a story of how we'll overcome We'll understand it better bye and bye
