The Rev. Blind Willie Johnson's electrifying gospel and ''sacred blues'' songs made a huge impression on me. To this day, I get the chills when I hear him deliver his songs with such fiery passion, even on a scratchy 78-rpm record. This song is a question for the ages: Who will speak for you when your time comes?

Listen to a song clip (CD order button).

You're gonna need somebody on your bond. (2x)
Way after midnight, when Death come a-creepin' in your room
You're gonna need somebody on your bond.

I heard the voice of Jesus callin', singin' of his rest.
"If you're lost in the wilderness, come lay up on my breast!"

You're gonna need somebody on your bond…

When Jesus come to save us, nobody heard his call:
"You can run, but you can't hide;
Who's gonna have your soul?"

You're gonna need somebody on your bond…
