Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics

Mavis Staples Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
Lord, in the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I would follow, close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
