You know it ain't no use banging your head up against that cold stone wall,
'Cause nobody's perfect except for the Lord, and even the best bound to fall,
Remember, he is divine, and you are de branch,
He'd love to get you through it, if you'd give him a chance,
Just keep doing your best, and pray that it's blessed,
And Jesus takes care of the rest.
Yes, the Lord said he'd take care of the rest, he's gonna do it,
He'll take care of the rest, he'll see you through it,
He'll take care of the rest, the devil blew it,
He'll take care of the...
He'll take good care of the rest.
You just think about Moses, in front of the burning bush, barefoot on the holy ground,
You know, he must have been thinking, "What's an old dude, like me, gonna tell 'em all when I go down?"
The Lord said, hey Moe, don't you worry about going down south,
I'll be saying every word that comes out of your mouth,
Just keep doing your best, and pray that it's blessed,
And I'll take care of the rest.
Yes, the Lord said he'd take care of the rest, he's gonna do it,
He'll take care of the rest, he'll see you through it,
He'll take care of the rest, pharaoh blew it,
He'll take care of the...
He'll take good care of the rest.
Just believe, and you will receive that comfort you need,
You just think about all the lonely people you know,
They've got everything they want, but they've got empty souls,
Well, he'll take care of the...
He'll take care of the rest
.
You just think about Noah, toting his umbrella when there wasn't a cloud in the sky,
All his neighbours would laugh at his pet giraffe, and they'd snicker as he passed by,
But the Lord said, "Hey Noah, be cool, just keep building that boat; it's just a matter of time till they see who's gonna float,
You just keep doing your best, and pray that it's blessed,
Hey Noah, I'll take care of the rest."
The Lord said he'd take care of the rest, he's gonna do it,
He'll take care of the rest, see you through it,
He'll take care of the rest, his neighbours blew it,
He'll take care of the...
He'll take care of the rest.
