Refrain:
Nobody knows the trouble I see,
nobody knows but Jesus;
oh, nobody knows the trouble I see,
glory hallelujah!

1 Sometimes I'm up,
sometimes I'm down,
Oh, yes, Lord!
Sometimes I'm almost to the ground,
Oh, yes, Lord! (Refrain)

2 Although you see me going long so,
Oh, yes, Lord!
I have my troubles here below,
Oh, yes, Lord! (Refrain)

3 What makes old Satan hate me so?
Oh, yes, Lord!
Cause he got me once and let me go,
Oh, yes, Lord! (Refrain)
