[Verse 1]
Lord I have a heavy
[A]burden of all I've seen and [D]know
It's more than I can [A]handle
[D]But your word is burning like a
[A]fire shut up in my [D]bones
And I cannot let it [A]go

[Verse 2]
And when I'm [Em]weary and [D]over[G]wrought
With so [Bm]many battles left [E]unfought

[Verse 3]
I think of [G]Paul and [D]Silas in the [G]prison [D]yard
I hear their [G]song of [D]freedom
[A]rising to the stars
And when the [Bm]Saints [A]go marching[E] in
I want to [G]be one of [D]them[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Lord it's all that I can't [A]carry
and cannot leave behind
[D]It often overwhe[A]lms me
But when [D]I think of all who've gone
[A]before and lived the faithful [D]life
Their courage com[A]pels me
And when I'm [Em]weary and [D]over[G]wrought
With so [Bm]many battles left [E]unfought

[Verse 5]
I think of [G]Paul and [D]Silas in the [G]prison [D]yard
I hear their [G]song of [D]freedom [A]rising to the stars

[Verse 6]
I see the [G]shepherd [D]Moses
in the [G]Pharaohs [D]court
I hear his [G]call for [D]freedom for
the [A]people of the Lord

[Verse 7]
And when [Bm]the S[A]aints go march[E]ing in
I want to [G]be one [D]of [G]them
[D]And when the[Bm] Saint s [A]go marching i[E]n
I want to [G]be one [D]of [G]them

[Verse 8]
I see the [G]long quiet [D]walk along
the [G]Underground Rail[D]road
I see [G]the slave awaken[D]ing
to the [A]value of her soul

[Verse 9]
I see the [G]young mis[D]sionary
and the [G]angry spear
[D]I see his[G] family retur[D]ning
with no [A]trace of fear

[Verse 10]
I see the [G]long hard [D]shadows
of [G]Calcutta [D]nights
I see [G]the sisters [D]standing
by the [A]dying man's side

[Verse 11]
I see [G]the young [D]girl huddled
on the [G]brothel [D]floor
I see [G]the man with a [D]passion come
and [A]kicking down the door

[Verse 12]
I see the [G]man of [D]sorrows
and his [G]long troubled [D]road
I see the [G]world on [D]his shoulders
and [A]my easy load

[Verse 13]
And when [Bm]the S[A]aints go march[E]ing in
I want to [G]be one of [D]them[G]
[D]And when the[Bm] Saints g[A]o marching [E]in
I want to [G]be one of [D]them[G]
[D]I want to be [G]one of the[D]m[G]
[D]I want to be [G]one of [D]the[G]m
[D]I want to be [G]one of them
