lyrics and artist to the song My mind stayed on Jesus

[sweetpea63]

If I remember correctly it goes something like this:

Lead: I woke up this morning with my mind

Chorus: Stayed  on Jesus

Lead: I'm walking and talking with my mind

Chorus: Stayed on Jesus

I think that's how it goes if someone could give the lyrics and the artist would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Actually it' a call & response song, that I think dates back to slavery times, maybe, not sure, but I do know it's an old, old song.

More verses used are (according to SONGS OF ZION songbook...a great hymnal to ad to your collection of you don't have it already)


- Ain't no harm to keep your mind... (something like that I think)
- Can't hate your neighbob in your mind, if you keep it...
- Makes you love everybody with your mind, when you keep it...
- The devil can't catch you in your mind, if you keep it...
- Jesus is the captain in your mind, when you keep it...

Wow!  I forgot all about this song!! Really brought back some good memories when we tried singing this in our choir when I was young(er).   We were definitely out of breath by the time we got thru singing it!  I was truly blessed while listening to this while at work.  Indeed, we must truly keep our mind stayed on Jesus!
