You’ll Need Somebody On Your Bond

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
Well... You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, it's way in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

[Verse 1: Blind Willie Johnson]
I heard the voice of Jesus saying, "Ah, to me and rest
Down, thou wearied one, lie down, head upon My breast"

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, it's way in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

[Verse 2: Blind Willie Johnson]
When you was a gambler, nobody would go your bond
Fell on your knees and begin to pray, called Jesus to go your bond

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, it's way in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

[Verse 3: Blind Willie Johnson]
I came to Jesus as I was, wearied, worn, and sad
Found in Him a resting place, He has made me glad

[Chorus: Blind Willie Johnson & Willie B. Harris]
I'm gonna need somebody on my bond
Lord, I've got somebody on my bond
Lord, it's way in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
I've got somebody on my bond
