TFT: Blood, Sweat and Tears


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Spinning Wheel
Blood, Sweat and Tears
What goes up
Must come down
Spinnin’ wheel
Got to go ‘round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
It's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinnin’ wheel spin
You got no money
You got no home
Spinnin’ wheel
All alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
And you
You never learn
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinnin’ wheel turn

Did you find
The directin’ sign
On the straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine
Within your mind
And show you
The colors
That are real

Someone is waitin’
Just for you
Spinnin’ wheel
Spinnin’ true
Drop all your troubles
By the riverside
Catch a painted pony
On the spinnin’ wheel ride

Someone's waitin’
Just for you
Spinnin’ wheel
Spinnin’ true
Drop all your troubles
By the riverside
Ride a painted Pony
Let the spinnin’ wheel fly


And When I Die
Blood, Sweat and Tears
I'm not scared of dyin’
And I don't really care
If it's peace you find in dyin’
Well then let the time be near
If it's peace you find in dyin’
And if dyin’ time is here
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there
I hear that it's cold way down there
Yeah
Crazy cold way down there

And when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
In this world
To carry on
To carry on

Now troubles are many
They're as deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no Heaven
But I pray there ain't no Hell
Swear there ain't no Heaven
And I pray there ain't no Hell
But I'll never know by livin’
Only my dyin’
Will tell
Yes
Only my dyin’
Will tell
Yeah
Only my dyin’
Will tell

And when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
In this world
To carry on
To carry on
Yeah yeah

Give me my freedom
For as long as I be
All I ask of livin’
Is to have no chains on me
All I ask of livin’
Is to have no chains on me
And all I ask of dyin’
Is to go
Naturally
Oh
I want to go
Naturally

Here I go
Hey hey
Here comes the devil right behind
Look out children
Here he comes
Here he comes
Hey

Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go
Naturally

And when I die
And when I'm dead
Dead and gone
There'll be one child born
In our world
To carry on
To carry on
Yeah yeah

  4. I had that album...probably still have it around here somewhere! I bought it in 1969.

  5. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! It would be one that I would certainly cherish. I think the coolest album I still have (somewhere) is Chicago Transit Authority's first one, which was a double album with almost every song being a true classic (in my most humble opinion).
