He's my canary in a coal mine
If He’s fine, everything is alright
Trouble on the way, Holy Ghost gonna save me
'Cause He's my canary in a coal mine

No matter which way, no matter which road
I ain’t gonna cry, I ain't gonna moan
When I can see what's up around the corner
What's that noise? It's Him about to warn you
That's my Jesus, goin' there before me
Show me the way, Lord

He's my canary in a coal mine
If He’s fine, everything is alright
Trouble on the way, Holy Ghost gonna save me
’Cause He's my canary in a coal mine

It’s gonna get hard, it's gonna get tough
I'm gonna be brave, it's in my blood
’Cause every bump and every bruise
Reminds me of Jesus pullin' me through
These bones won't give up if you remain faithful
Show me the way, Lord (show me the way)

He's my canary in a coal mine
If He's fine, everything is alright
Trouble on the way, Holy Ghost gonna save me
'Cause He's my canary in a coal mine
