Ride On, Sweet Jesus

Ride on, sweet Jesus, ride on
No one can a-hinder thee
Ride on, sweet Jesus
No one can a-hinder thee

Jesus is coming to take me
To a new home up in the sky
He’s the King of this ol’ world
Lord knows I can’t wait to die

Ride on, sweet Jesus, ride on
Deliver me from sin
This world has no more room for me
You are my next of kin
So I’ll wait here for you Jesus
Down on my knees again

Time’s a-running out
For the people on this plane
Get me up in the morning
Just give me a warning
And I will feel no more shame

Ride on, sweet Jesus
No one can a-hinder thee

From Down To The River, a poetry chapbook inspired by African-African authors

I attempted to write my own spiritual hymn, a twist on the classic Ride On, King Jesus

This was inspired by Go Tell It On the Mountain by James Baldwin
