Sometimes your life can be sidetracked
Getting lost in things you don't need
But we all lose direction
In a world of greed
People's lives end in ruin
Some people's lives never start
Someone knows what you're doing
Deep in your heart
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
There's a world never ending
Sorrow and pain don't exist
We can live there together
You can't resist
'Cause when you think you can't take it
Dreams disappear into space
Trust in your heart, you can make it
When you're living, living in a state of grace
Nothing worse than sorrow
Of loved ones you have lost
You can't face tomorrow
You can't bear the cross
Just remember that darkness
In this world has no place
You've got so much to give now
You're living...
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
Living, state of grace
Oh, oh, state of grace
Baby, when you are living...
Hey, hey, living
Living, living, oh, oh, yeah, oh, hey
Living in a state of grace

Sung by the Golden Gospel Singers:
OH, FREEDOM
Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,
Oh freedom over me.
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free.
No more weepin,(don't you know), no more weepin,
no more weepin over me.
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free.
Oh freedom,
Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,
Oh freedom over me.
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free.
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free.

See That My Grave Is Kept Clean
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Leaving down the golden chain
Every link in my Jesus name
Every link in my Jesus name
Every link in my Jesus name
Leaving down the golden chain
Ever hear that church bell tone
Ever hear that church bell tone
Ever hear that church bell tone
I'm a poor boy, and all be no more
When I'm dead don't grieve for me
When I'm dead don't grieve for me
When I'm dead don't grieve for me
While I'm lying here dead
Come right here and put flowers on my grave
Come right here and put flowers on my grave
Come right here and put flowers on my grave
I'll be living with the safe-going knees
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
There's one kind of favor I'm gonna ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
