Fisk University of Nashville, Tennessee, is part of the story as well.
Lyrics: “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen”
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory Hallelujah
Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down, oh, yes, Lord
Sometimes I’m almost to the ground, oh, yes, Lord
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory Hallelujah
If you get there before I do, oh, yes, Lord,
Tell all my friends I’m coming through, oh, yes, Lord
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Glory Hallelujah
