Come Sunday
Divine Hope: Ellis Marsalis' Soulful Plea for Guiding Light
Lyrics
Ooh
Expression of emotion, possibly awe or deep feeling.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Invocation of God, addressing the divine.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Plea for God's attention and help for the speaker's people.
I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
Belief in a divine creation of the sun and moon.
I don't mind the gray skies
Acceptance of challenges or difficulties (gray skies).
'cause they're just clouds passing by.
Understanding that challenges are temporary and will pass.
Heaven is a goodness time.
Reference to a positive, heavenly experience.
A brighter light on high.
Hope for a brighter future.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Advocacy for treating others with kindness and fairness.
And have a brighter by and by.
Expectation of a better future, possibly in the afterlife.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Reiteration of the plea for God's help.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Continuation of the plea for divine intervention.
I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
Belief in God's eternal existence.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.
Confidence in overcoming challenges with God's blessings.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
Repeat of the plea for God's attention and assistance.
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
Renewed request for God's intervention on behalf of the speaker's people.
