I
ONE DAY, I HEARD A VOICE SAYING MAKE,
HE LORD YOUR CHOICE, HE'LL TAKE AWAY.
YOUR EVERY SIN, AND SET YOU FREE.
SO I CAME, TO HIM THAT DAY, AND HE TOOK, MY SINS AWAY NOW I DON'T
WANT NOTHING HERE TO HINDER ME.
II
MANY TIMES, I'M TOSSED ABOUT,
MANY TIMES, I DO WITHOUT.
MANY TIMES, MY HEART IS BURDENED DOWN WITH CARE, BUT I KNOW,
IF I'LL STAND TRUE, THAT SOME DAY. HE'LL SEE ME THRU.
IF I WON'T LET, NOTHING HERE HINDER ME.
III
SOMEDAY, WHEN I GET HOME, WHERE I NEVER,
MORE SHALL ROAM, WITH THE SAVIOR,
AND MY LOVED ONES I WILL BE,
WHEN I LAY THIS OLD CROSS DOWN.
AND RECEIVE A SHINNING CROWN.
I'LL BE SO GLAD THAT NOTHING HERE, HINDERED ME.
CHORUS
I DON'T WANT NOTHING HERE TO HINDER ME,
FOR SOMEDAY HIS BLESSED FACE I LONG TO SEE.
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT THE COST OH HOW HEAVY MY CROSS.
I DON'T WANT NOTHING HERE TO HINDER ME.
