You’re gonna need somebody on your bond

Well…

You’re gonna need somebody on your bond

You’re gonna need somebody on your bond

Lord, it’s late in the midnight when death comes slippin’ in your room

You’re gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

When I was a gambler, nobody would go my bond

Fell on my knees and began to pray, that Jesus would go my bond

You’re gonna need somebody on your bond
You’re gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, it’s late in the midnight when death comes slippin’ in your room
You’re gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

You’re gonna need somebody on your bond
You’re gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, it’s late in the midnight when death comes slippin’ in your room
You’re gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond

I came to Jesus, ‘n i was, weary, wounded, sad
Found he’d held me a restin’ place, oh it made me glad

If I’ve got somebody on my bond
Lord, I’ve got somebody on my bond
Lord, just wait in the midnight when death comes slippin’ in your room
Lord, I’ve got somebody on my bond

I heard the voice of Jesus saying calling me home to rest
Now in the waining midnight hour, I don’t hold my breath
