I'll Be Glad

By Will Oldham (aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy)

I'll go anywhere that you do
And if you don't go before
Lord, I don't want to go
Without you anymore

Meet me in a pillar of fire
Shade me with a big white cloud
Lord, wherever you go
You'll always have me around

You will give my body rest
And never let me thirst
So I'm not going anywhere
If you don't go there first

And when I see you beckoning
Me, that's how I'll know
Lord, following your lead
Is the only way I'll go

When you get your flock together
Please take me along
Lord, I'm too weak to travel
I'll be glad you're strong

And I'll lean on your arm
