[Chorus]
Ride on King Jesus,

Ride on King Jesus,
No man can a-hinder thee.In that greatness of morning

In that greatness of morning
Fair thee well, fair thee well.When I get to heaven gonna’ wear a robe,
(No man can a-hinder thee.)
Gonna’ walk all over those streets of gold.
(No man can a-hinder thee.)
When King Jesus sittin’ on the throne,
(No man can a-hinder thee.)
Joy to a man when the devil goes.
(No man can a-hinder thee.)
