Is that the rendition done by Thomas Whitfield or another one?

Not Thomas Whitfield. This song goes like this:

Watch ye therefore you know not the day
When the Lord shall call your souls away
If you labor striving for the right
You shall wear, shall wear a golden crown.


I can't hardly understand what they're singing in the other verses. I'm still listening to it. Maybe I'll get it :D

I had the lyrics on Black Gospel Lyric Ministry's site, but I'm like you, I don't know what happened to the site. Hopefully Daryl will let us know, he maintains the site (does the technical stuff with it I mean). I'll try to get the lyrics and that song I wrote to you about this weekend.

PM you the lyrics Val. As far as what happened to the site, the site closed down because of hackers. The site had been plauged by hackers for months...lyrics members submitted being taken from our site and being placed on various non safe(virus and explicit laced sites) lyrics sites before the Admins approved it to be in the database, even the message boards. On top of that it went as far as them hacking into to the owners email address once they were able to hack into the site.

4HisGlory, which helped as the webmaster, tried preventative measures but it didn't help, they found ways around that. Finally the owner, Ms. Sirrah, had enough when explicit things started showing up all over the site due to what hackers were doing to it far beyond hers or 4HisGlory's control, so she closed Blackgospellyrics which was hard for her to do. The lyrics from the site, however, will be transferred here once 4Hisglory decides how he sees fit to do with them.

Bright side, the largest and longest running urban/traditional gospel lyrics site isn't down and out, it's just moving on to bigger and better things :) .

i really hate that because i was a subscriber and posted as much as i could to the site and it was really a God-send to me and my choir rehearsals. However we accept no defeat, as you said "Bright side, the largest and longest running urban/traditional gospel lyrics site isn't down and out, it's just moving on to bigger and better things :)." I whole-heartedly agree with you. I know that things will work out soon. Just as Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 4:9 "Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;" Be blessed!

Found this on yahoo!! :o :o :o (their source for the lyrics interestingly enough was blackgospellyricministry.org, I'll take a stab at Verse 3 since its clearer than the others)
(Verse 2)
Be not like the foolish virgins did
For He's coming and you know not when
Have your lamps on
Trimmed and burning bright
Then you shall wear a golden crown
(Repeat chorus)

I shall wear a crown (2x)
When the trumpet sounds (2x)
Oh~ I shall wear a crown
I shall wear a crown
I shall wear a golden crown

(Verse 3)
Lead me, Jesus
Lead me everyday.
Lead me, Jesus.
Yes I go (astray)??
Lead me Jesus,
Lead me all the way.
I shall wear, shall wear a golden crown.
