A Test In Judgment

Representative Text

1 You got to stand a test in judgment,
You got to stand it for yourself,
There's nobody else can stand it for you,
You got to stand it for yourself.

2 Father's got to stand a test in judgment,
Father's got to stand it for himself,
There's nobody else can stand it for him,
He's got to stand it for himself.

3 Mother's got to stand a test in judgment,
Mother's got to stand it for herself,
There's nobody else can stand it for her,
She's got to stand it for herself.

4 Mourner's got to stand a test in judgment,
You got to stand it for yourself,
There's nobody else can stand it for you,
You got to stand it for yourself.
