The Original Singing Sons of Washington and D.C. - Plain and Simple Song

I'd just like to sing a plain and simple song, Oh yeah
Maybe I can help someone as I pass along
Songs have been known to lift a bowed down head
Give you consolation on your sick bed
If we will just sing a plain and simple song, Oh yeah, my Lord

When Paul and Silas were bound in jail, oh yes they were.
Paul said you sing a song and I pray a prayer
Oh, I don't know the song that they sang
But I believe they lift their voice in Jesus name
And sang a plain and simple song
If it would be me, you know what I would sing

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Oh yes it does. You know that saved a wretch just like me
You know why? Because I, I once, I once was lost
But right now, oh I thank God I'm found
I was blind, I was blind. But now, thank God I can see
Oh yeah, and I want to let you know

Through many dangers toils and snares
The Lord has brought me through
And I thank you today because I have,
I have. Already, already, already come
You know the reason why?
Because it was grace that brought me
Me safely, so safely
I know God's grace
His grace will lead, is gonna lead me on
And I want to go on and tell you this right here
You know what I got to do?

I will trust in the Lord
I got to stay right here and trust in the Lord
Will you, will you trust in the Lord?
Until I die

Oh, will you trust in the Lord?
Church, I will trust in the Lord
I will trust in the Lord, the Lord
Yeah, until I die

One more thing I want to tell you
I got to treat everybody right
I know I got to die one day
And I got to treat everybody right
I want to go back with Jesus when he come
I got to treat you right
How long?
Until I die
I'm gonna treat everybody, everybody right
I'm gonna treat everybody, everybody right
Oh, I'm gonna treat everybody right
Until I die, one more thing
I got to tell you this
To see Jesus

I've got to stay on my bended knees
Oh, I don't care what you say about me
I'm gonna stay on my knees
I'm gonna stay right there and pray to the Lord
Oh yes I am
Until I die, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stay, stay, stay, stay, oh stay
I'm gonna stay on my bended knees
I'm gonna stay on my bended knees
Until I die"
