Below is a link to a song, this was recorded by some friends of mine recently (if you frequent Shed of Emotions you may have already heard it.) Because of the medium quality recording and the stomping I am reminded of one of the old Alan Lomax Sacred Harp recordings.

I reccomend that everyone listen, here is the link.

Here are the words:

Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honours given;
And I don't care to stay here long!
He saves from hell, (we bless his name,)
He calls our wandering feet to heaven.
And I don't care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.

Jesus the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
And I don't care to stay here long!
Declares the great transaction's past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
And I don't care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.

He dies! And in that dreadful night
Did all the powers of hell destroy;
And I don't care to stay here long!
Rising, He brought our heaven to light,
and took possession of the joy.
And I don't care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Christians; Away up yonder!
O, yes, my Lord, For I don't care to stay here long.

Right up yonder, Christians, away up yonder,
O, yes my Lord, for I don't care to stay here long.
