Be Worthy (intro — acapella) Be Worthy (x3) (piano interlude) (verse) Be Worthy, and hope for tomorrow Be Worthy, Lord, through sickness and sorrow Be Worthy, the kingdom is coming, yeah, and He's always near He took my life, he turned me around He placed my feet on solid ground, I'm worthy (pre-chorus) And then the sun started to smile, and so the clouds she gave up her tears And then the moon started to be, started to be, and then it turned and dripped into blood Hallelujah, oh praise you savior, for you are worthy Just come to him (x2) come to him (x3) (chorus) The devil is cold and all he want is souls (x3) Just come to him (verse) Hallelujah Lord, yeah, Oh praise you Savior Hallelujah Lord, yeah, oh I praise you my star Just come to him (x2), come to him (x3) (chorus) The Devil is cold and he want is souls (x3) Just come to him (verse) Hallelujah, Lord, yeah, Oh, I praise you savior Hallelujah, hallelujah (x3) (piano coda)

about

Soul singer Gloria Ann Taylor released only a small amount of music during her brief career. She never achieved the commercial success of her contemporaries though she later became a cult sensation. Her genre-bending sound laid the groundwork for disco, R&B, and modern soul music.

In 2015, Ubiquity issued the “Love is a Hurtin’ Thing” album that made her scarce music widely available. Though she was happy with the success of the album she remained out of the spotlight and the industry. It was in 2016, when she returned to the studio for the first time in decades. She recorded a demo of three songs, but tragically passed away before any final recordings or production could be completed. It would take years and the genius of technology to bring her final music back to life. The “Be Worthy” 7-inch is a magnificent ending to the legacy of the soul singer that knew love is a thing we could never live without, even if it is a hurtin’ thing.
