Lyrics

Nobody knows, Lord, the trouble I've seen;
Lordy, nobody knows my sorrow
Yes, nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
But glory hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm standing crying
Tears running down my face
I cry to the Lord have mercy
Help me run this all race
Oh Lord, I have so many trials
So many pains and woes
I'm asking for faith and comfort
Lord, help me to carry this load
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;
Well, no nobody knows but Jesus. well, well
No nobody knows, oh the trouble, the trouble I've seen;
I'm singing glory, glory glory hallelujah!
No nobody knows, oh the trouble, the trouble I've seen;
Lord, no nobody knows my sorrow
Well, well well, no nobody knows, you know the trouble
The trouble I've seen;
I'm singing glory, glory, glory hallelujah!
