You know, it ain't no use

Banging your head

Up against a cold stone wall

'Cause no one perfect

Except for the Lord--

Even the best's bound to fall



Remember,

He is the vine

And you are the branch

He loves to get you through it if you give him a chance

You just keep doing your best

And pray that it's blessed

And Jesus takes care of the rest



(chorus)

Yes the Lord said He'll take care of the rest

He's gonna do it!

He'll take care of the rest

He'll see you through it, yeah

He'll take care of the rest

The devil blew it!

(Old pharaoh blew it)

(His neighbors blew it)

Well He'll take care of the--

He'll take care of the rest



You just think about Moses

In front of the burning bush

Barefoot on the holy ground

You know he must've been thinking

"Hey, what's an old dude like me

Gonna tell 'em of when I go down?" (oh yeah, Moses)



But the Lord said

"Hey Mo, don't you worry about goin' down south

'Cause I'll be sayin' every word that comes out of your mouth

You just keep doing your best

And pray that it's blessed

And hey Mo, I'll take care of the rest"



(chorus)



Just believe

And you'll receive

That comfort you need

You just think about all those lonely people you know

They've got everything they want

But they've got empty souls



But he'll take care of the--

He'll take care of the--

Care of the rest!



You just think about Noah

Shoulderin' his umbrella

When there wasn't a cloud in the sky

All his neighbors would laugh

At his pet giraffe

And they would oh-ho, snicker as he passed by-a
