Kate Campbell - GOD BLESS YOU ARTHUR BLESSITT lyrics
rate meGod bless you Arthur Blessitt
Your back is plenty strong
Your load is hard and heavy
Every bit of six feet long
From Greenville, Mississippi
Out to the Sunset Strip
Where Jesus called one early morn
For you to take a trip
God bless you Arthur Blessitt
You built yourself a cross
And carried it around the world
Never once got lost
You walked through many nations
Poverty and war
And when you reached Jerusalem
Cried Lord should I walk more
And he said I’ve called you to the common man
Peasants of the earth
We’re all in this together
Toil and sweat and dirt
God bless you Arthur Blessitt
You love the people so
You’ve tried to keep it simple
As on and on you go
Across the highest mountains
The driest dessert plains
The most forgotten places
People know your name
God bless you Arthur Blessitt
You have done your part
For peace in every land
And love in every heart
