OH, TURN SINNER, TURN Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR 8/29/59 Click here to listen to the original recording He whom I fixed my hopes upon. Chorus: Oh turn, sinners, turn, May the Lord help you turn. Oh turn, sinners, turn, Why will you die? This is the way I long have thought And mourned because I found it not. (Chorus) I'll strike, I'll see, and I'll pursue The narrow way 'til Him I view. (Chorus) If you get there before I do, Look out for me; I'm coming too. (Chorus) (Mr. Detherow: "We used to have an old fellow by the name of Bob Bell. He was a tall old fellow, and he was a fine singer, and he'd get in there and extend the right hand of fellowship, and, boy, when he sang that, you could hear him for a mile.") |
