Good jesus help me

Good Jesus ain't so far away
Good Jesus ain't so far away
Please help me gettin' through slavery one more day

Being locked in these four walls ain't gonna be my fate
Being locked in these four walls ain't gonna be my fate
Got to start singin' my blues before it's too late

The more I move forward the more it hurts my neck
The more I move forward the more it hurts my neck
One thing I'm sure I'd rather go blind than lookin' back

Walkin' over muddy water can't be done fast
Walkin' over muddy water can't be done fast
I cry good Jesus help me get over my past.
