| Hold me close, Lord, hold me close! To your bosom, Lord, hold me close! Keep me near you, Lord, in your arms! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
| When I'm frightened, Lord, hold me close! When I'm weary, Lord, hold me close! When I'm saddened, Lord, hold me close! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s laughing, Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
| When I'm lonely, Lord, hold me close! When I need a friend, hold me close! On those cold dark days, hold me close! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Someone’s crying, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s crying, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s crying, Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
| When I'm needy, Lord, hold me close! When I'm hungry, Lord, hold me close! When I murmer, Lord, hold me close! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s praying, Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
| When I'm hurting, Lord, hold me close! When my body's worn, hold me close! When I cry at night, hold me close! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Someone’s singing, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s singing, Lord, kumbaya! Someone’s singing, Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
| When it's time, Lord, hold me close! When I'm dying, Lord, hold me close! I will live anew, eternally! Oh, Lord, hold me close! |
Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! Kumbaya, my Lord, kumbaya! O Lord, kumbaya! |
