Precious angel Under the sun How was I to know You'd be the oneTo show me I was blinded To show me I was gone How weak was the foundation I was standing upon?Now there's spiritual warfare Flesh and blood breaking down You either got faith or you got unbelief And there ain't no neutral groundThe enemy is subtle How be it we're deceived When the truths in our hearts And we still don't believe?Shine your light Shine your light on me Shine your light Shine your light on meShine your light Shine your light on me You know I just couldn't make it by myself I'm a little too blind to seeMy so-called friends Have fallen under a spell They look me squarely in the eye And they say, "Well, all is well"Can they imagine the darkness That will fall from on high When men will beg God to kill them And they won't be able to die?Sister, let me tell you About a vision that I saw You were drawing water for your husband You were suffering under the lawYou were telling him about Buddha You were telling him 'bout Mohamed in one breath You never mentioned one time the man who came And died a criminals deathShine your light Shine your light on me Shine your light Shine your light on meShine your light Shine your light on me You know I just couldn't make it by myself I'm a little too blind to seePrecious angel You believe me when I say What God has given to us No man can take awayWe are covered in blood, girl You know our forefathers were slaves Let us hope they've found mercy In their bone-filled gravesYou're the queen of my flesh, girl You're my woman, you're my delight You're the lamp of my soul, girl And you torch up the nightBut there's violence in the eyes, girl So let us not be enticed On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia To the judgment hall of ChristShine your light Shine your light on me Shine your light Shine your light on meShine your light Shine your light on me You know I just couldn't make it by myself I'm a little too blind to seeShine your light Shine your light on me Shine your light Shine your light on me ...
В противоположность предыдущим альбомам, Slow Train Coming после пассивного начала был записан довольно быстро – за шесть трехчасовых сессий на протяжении трех дней.
Первая сессия состоялась 30 апреля и была одной из самых сложных. Почти целый день был потрачен на запись Trouble in Mind — песни, которая так и не попала на альбом. Обстановка была напряженной: Джерри был недоволен излишним вокалом Дилана. „Боб с самого начала стал петь“, — говорил Векслер, — „Мы всего лишь начинали записывать ритм-секцию, было еще рано для вокала, тем не менее, он пел на каждом дубле“.
Для заключительной песни When He Returns Дилан сначала хотел отдать ведущий вокал одной из вокалисток, но после нескольких репетиций с Беккетом на рояле передумал. Около восьми дублей было сделано, прежде чем вокальная партия получилась такой, что ее можно свободно назвать „лучшим студийным вокалом Боба со времен Visions of Johanna“.
Были также записаны еще две песни, которые на пластинке не вышли — Ain't No Man Righteous и Ye Shall Be Changed.
