Come Sunday
Embracing Hope: Dee Dee Bridgewater's Soulful Invocation for Guidance
Lyrics
Ooh
Expressing emotion, possibly awe or admiration.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Addressing the divine, emphasizing power and greatness.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Plea for divine intervention and protection for the speaker's people.
I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
Belief in the divine creation of the sun and moon.
I don't mind the gray skies
Acceptance of challenges (gray skies) as temporary and passing.
'cause they're just clouds passing by.
Metaphorically seeing difficulties as fleeting clouds.
Heaven is a goodness time.
Heaven is a time of goodness, possibly referring to a positive afterlife.
A brighter light on high.
Anticipating a brighter and elevated experience.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Quoting the Golden Rule, promoting mutual respect and kindness.
And have a brighter by and by.
Expectation of a brighter future in the afterlife.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Reiteration of addressing the divine for protection.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Repetition of the plea for divine intervention and guidance.
I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
Belief in the timeless and eternal nature of God.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.
Expressing confidence that with divine blessings, challenges can be overcome.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Reiteration of addressing the divine for protection.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Repetition of the plea for divine intervention and guidance.
