Sitting in the Parlor with Jesus by Zoli Althea Browne Lyrics
"Sitting In The Parlor With Jesus"
"Well, I be sittin in the parlor with Jesus
Singing as the hours roll by
I've been praying for some manna from heaven
A miracle to clear my clouded eyes
Life had lost Its tune, I’d stay in bed until noon
Nothing but the blues come to play
But then the door opened wide
The Lord come inside, and He is sitting with me a while this day
I be sittin in the parlor with Jesus
Singing us some heavenly tunes
We got some corn bread, sweet tea and peaches
A little jam and butter pays the dues
And I say Lord, don't you see an old woman like me
Can offer only little things I own
He said, “don't worry my child, we’ll sit here a while
And then I'll take you to your heavenly home
I be sittin, sittin, oh sittin alone
I've been sitting waiting for my heavenly home
If life has lost its tune, and you don't know what to do
Just close your eyes and open up to pray
Then your heart opens wide and the Lord comes inside
And He will sit with you a while today
I be sittin, sittin, oh sittin alone
I've been sitting waiting for my heavenly home
If life has lost its tune, and you don't know what to do
Just close your eyes and open up to pray
And with your heart opened wide the Lord comes inside
And He will sit with you a while today
I be sittin in my heaven with Jesus
Talking to old friends who gone before
I see old Clarence, sister Mary and Pernie
Barbequing under a heavenly Sycamore
If life has lost its tune, and you don't know what to do
Just close your eyes and open up to pray
With your heart open wide the Lord comes inside
And He will take you up to heaven one day
"Let the Lord in your life today"
