This is a song that you've probably heard made fun of over the years (usually with just the refrain being heard), but considering the context of suffering that it originated from, it is actually a very beautiful song.
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen Nobody knows the trouble but Jesus Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen Glory Hallelujah!
Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down Oh, yes, Lord Sometimes I’m almost to the ground Oh, yes, Lord
Although you see me going along so Oh, yes, Lord I have my trials here below Oh, yes, Lord
If you get there before I do Oh, yes, Lord Tell all my friends I’m coming too Oh, yes, Lord
