Refrain
  I been in de storm so long,
  I been in de storm so long, children,
  I been in de storm so long,
  Oh, gimme little time to pray.

Oh, let me tell you, brother, how I come 'long,
 ...  gimme little time to pray,
With a hung down head and a achin' heart,
 ...  gimme little time to pray.

Refrain

Oh when I get to Heaven I'll take my seat,
 ...  gimme little time to pray,
An-a cast my crown at my Jesus' feet,
 ...  gimme little time to pray.

Refrain
