    Default Please Help Identify Lyrics: Swing Low

    I need some help with the lyrics of Swing Low Sweet Chariot by China Black and Ladysmith Black Mambazo (1995) used on a recent World Rugby CD. Please note: these are not the original and tradition lyrics.

    Here's what I found...

    Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home

    I looked over Jordan and what did I seeComing for to carry me home A band of angels coming after me Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)
    Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down Coming for to carry me homeBut still my soul feels heavenly bound Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)
    The brightest day that I can say,Coming for to carry me home,When Jesus washed my sins away,Coming for to carry me home.

    (Chorus)
    If I get there before you do Coming for to carry me home I'll cut a hole and pull you through Coming for to carry me home

    (Chorus)
    If you get there before I do Coming for to carry me home Tell all my friends I'm coming tooComing for to carry me home

    Thank you for your efforts, but that's not quite the one I am looking for. The one I need can be found on You-tube. I can make out some of the lyrics, but I am missing a vital part. I have:
    I looked into my soul and what did I see, Coming for to carry me home.
    ?????? rising (?)in me, Coming for to carry me home.
    Chorus
    I'm on my way now and so are you, Coming for to carry me home
    Tell all the people, they're coming home too, Coming for to cary me home.
    Chorus
    That's it. As you can see I am missing the second pat of the first verse.

    This is what I get from the video...

    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home,
    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home

    I looked into my soul and what did I see
    Coming for to carry me home
    I want my spirit rising, my lending knee
    Coming for to carry me home

    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home,
    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home

    I'm on my way now, and so are you
    Coming for to carry me home
    Tell all the people, they want to go too
    Coming for to carry me home

    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home,
    Swing low, sweet chariot,
    Coming for to carry me home

    You can hear his voice alot better on this video

    Thanks for your input. I am still a little unsure of the second part of the first verse:
    I looked into my soul and what did I see
    Coming for to carry me home;
    ***

    I agree that it is something to do with a spirit rising but exactly what it is has got me beat.
