sister rosetta tharpe - jesus you taught me how to smile lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was sad and all my life seemed dreary
as i struggle along each red, weary mile
burdens distress me, sorrows opress me
then jesus, you taught me how to smile
woah, jesus, you taught me how to trust you
when my mind was full of doubt
you taught me of the silver lining
if i turn the ugly clouds about
you taught me how to walk by faith, lord
making my life to be worthwhile
you taught me how to sing through shadow
jesus, you taught me how to smile

[guitar solo]

[verse 2]
he taught me every smile was a blessing
just a little blessing in disguise
could i believe it, could i receive it
stars shine through clouds or spread the skies
so when the days is dark and dreary
still i know he’s with me all the while
i keep it, believe it, his grace will receive it
how he taught me how to smile
[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
jesus, you taught me how to trust you
when my mind was full of doubt
you taught me how to silver line things
if i turn the ugly clouds about
oh, he said if i keep my eyes upon him
while satan tried so hard to beguile
soon, i’ll be shouting, no longer doubting
that’s how he taught me how to smile
