Lyrics

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
I heard the voice of Jesus
Saying, "Come to me and rest
Down, thou wearied one, lie down
Head upon My breast"
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
When you was a gambler
Nobody would go your bond
Fell on your knees and begin to pray
Called Jesus to go your bond
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
I came to Jesus as I was
Wearied, wounded, sad
Found in Him a resting place
He has made me glad
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
