[A] [D]
[A] [D] Lord, I have a [A] heavy burden of all I've [D] seen and known
It's more than I [A] can handle
[D] But your Word is burning like [A] a fire
Shot up in [D] my bones
And I can't [A] let it go
And [Em] when I'm weak and [G] overrun
With [Bm] so many battles [E] left unfought
I [G] think of Paul [D] and Cyrus in the prison yard
I hear their [D] song of freedom
[A] Rising to the stars and [Bm] when the [C#] slaves
Go [E] marching in
I [G] wanna [D] be one of
[G] them
[D] Lord, it's all that I [A] can't carry
And cannot leave [D] behind
It often [A] overwhelms me
But when I think of all who've [A] gone before
And lived a faithful [D] life
Their courage [A] compels me
And [Em] when I'm weak and [G] overrun
With [Bm] so many battles [E] left unfought
I [G] think of Paul [D] and Cyrus [G] in the prison [D] yard
I [G] hear their song of freedom
[A] Rising to the stars
I see [G] the shepherd [D] Moses [G] in the [D] Pharaoh's court
I hear his [D] call for freedom
For [A] the people of the Lord
And [Bm] when the [A] slaves
Go [E] marching in
I [G] wanna [D] be one of [G] them
[D] And [Bm] when the [A] slaves
Go [E] marching in
I [G] wanna [D] be one of [G] them
I see the long, quiet walk
Along the underground railroad
I see the [D] slave awaken
To [A] the value of her soul
I see [G] the young missionary
In the angry spear
I see his [D] family returning
With no trace [A] of fear
I see [G] the long, harsh hours
Of Calcutta nights
I see the [D] sister standing
[A] By the dying man's side
I see [G] the young girl
Huddled on the brothel floor
I see the [D] man with a passion
Come [A] and kick him down that door
I [G] see the man of sorrow
In his long troubled road
I see the [D] world on his shoulders
And [A] my easy load
And [Bm] when the [A] slaves
Go [E] marching in
I [G] wanna [D] be one of [G] them
And [Bm] when the slaves
[A] Go [E] marching in
I [G] wanna [D] be one of [G] them
I wanna be one of them
