Hello, I am here to ask if anyone could help me find the lyrics to the gospel song called, "Ive got a made up mind" by the gospel echoes with Dottie Buck and Shirley Bivins. and I need the lyrics to " Wait up on the Lord" by the Gospel singing Caravan on their 1961 Lp record on the SING Label,

If you could post both of the lyrics on the same message and NOT post the videos to me Just the lyrics in Written form it would be much appreciated.

Thank you - Wyatt.

Wait Upon the Lord
Words & Music James B Coats

Man was made the image of his maker
God's creation by His holy word
But by sin we are made to suffer
If we do not wait upon the Lord

Chorus.. (top line) (+means sang at same time)
I will work (Work) I will pray (Pray)
Live rejoicing (Ev-) ev-'ry(+'ry) day(+day)
And then I'll rest (Then I'll rest) while ages roll (ages roll)

I will sing (sing) I will shout (shout)
And I'll tell the(tell)world about (+about) Amazing grace (saving grace)
That save my soul (saved my soul)

Here and there (here) ev'ry where (there)
great tempta-(sin)tion is rife (+is rife)

O repent (be) be content (saved)
'tis a won-(hap-)derful (py) life (+life)

Come a long (come) join my song (on)
Place your treasures (to) in that home (+that ome)
And wait with me (wait with me) upon (up-) Lord (on the Lord)

To a heart that listens when He's calling
He has never missed the faintest cry
Happy is the soul upon His waiting
Working while the days are rolling by

Grace amazing from the fountain flowing
Covers all my sin today I'm free
Ready for the day of his returning
Waiting 'til HIs precious face I see

Link to a song in our archives with title I've got a made up mind"

(PS some of us, like me, can find videos ... but can't hear lyrics well enough to transcribe them. I post video links so other can do the transcribing)

You're very welcome, Nancy.
I feel led to help because of my vast collection of song books.

I have 50 books scanned into PC and another 6 feet waiting to be scanned.
I am currently converting PC files to OCR (optical character recognition - which will find a word in a file, not just the title).

OCR will also help with being a Music Director:
I have missed many songs because sermon was on 'green' and 'green' was not in the title of a song.

Correct title: Made Up My Mind

Found youtube link from when the Rambos sang it in 1967 (album There's Nothing My God Can't Do)
https://youtu.be/DmJ3jUIQYDU

Rambos also sang it for 1973 album "Spotlighting the Rambos"
full album link - https://youtu.be/XLkWCmAdr1Q

Gospel Echos sang it for their 1964 album "Warner Brothers Present the Gospel Echoes"
full album link - https://youtu.be/MEd6EWvU7a8

Made Up Mind
Writer: Dottie Rambo

Verse 1
I’M BREAKING EVERY CHAIN THAT BINDS ME
MOVING EVERY CARE THAT BLINDS ME
BURNING EVERY BRIDGE BEHIND ME
I’VE GOT A MADE UP MIND
HEAVEN ISN’T FAR AWAY
I’M GONNA WORK AND PRAY
I’LL SEE THE LORD SOMEDAY
I’VE GOT A MADE UP MIND

Chorus
SATAN DON’T YA HINDER ME
I’M CONTENTED AND FREE
I’M GAINING HIGHER GROUND
AND I DON’T INTEND TO TURN AROUND
THE ROAD IS ROUGH BUT I DON’T MIND IT
IF I LOSE MY WAY I’LL FIND IT
STUMBLE ON A MOUNTAIN I’LL CLIMB IT
I’VE GOT A MADE UP MIND
