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
