Lyrics
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
I don’t mind the gray skies
'cause they’re just clouds passing by.
Heaven is a goodness time.
A brighter light on high.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
And have a brighter by and by.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
With God’s blessing we can make it through eternity.
Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, please look down and see my people through.
I first heard Abbey,in L.A, 1970, in a small club. She was called Aminata Moseka than. She was wearing beaded cornrows,and a beautiful floor length dress . I was twenty one , and it was my first night, in L.A.When the spot light hit her she magically appeared, I have never seen anything as beautiful,in my life. When she began singing, I fell in love. Years later I was living , in New York , boxing and trying to teach school. I was about thirty, and I met Abbey, I told her about my L.A experience, she smiled and hugged me, and I was in love again. When ever I think of her, in my mind I see that beautiful African Queen, I saw in 1970. RIP, Queen.
