my brothers, in this hollow wilderness
For to speak some words of com
fort to each other in distress
And we choose this for our subject,
this we'll explain it by and by
And the man said, here am I
Was the worst man ever born
Lord got tired of his foolin'
And says, here, I'll let him know
Pharaoh to let them children go.
And if he refused to do it,
I will make him rue the hour.
Egypt on the fires of my power.
Wasn't worth a half a dime.
His children, you can trust
And your enemies may sell you
in the back and in the front,
Lord is all around you to
They can forge the chains and shackles
From the mountain to the sea
For to set his children free
And the last year is thunder
When he girds his armor on
But for fear of someone mistaking,
I will pause right here to say
That I'm still a preaching ancient,
I ain't talking loud today
But I'll tell you, fellow
things are happening mighty strange
Israel and his ways don't
And the love he showed to
Now don't you run and tell your masters
Cause I isn't time for judging
Bible people by their acts
I'm a -givin' you the scripture,
I'm a -handin' you the facts
Pharaoh believed in slavery, but the
That the people he put free been every mother
Now there's others that think like
Pharaoh, and they call the scripture lies,
Bible says a servant is worthy of his high,
and you can't get round or through it,
And you can't get over it
For whatever place you get in
Ever since this world began
Should belong to every man
But I want to warn you people
Don't you get too big a team
Don't you get too braggin'
And he's comin' sure and fast
We can hear his feet up trumpin'
I can hear the trumpet blast
I think it would be better
If I pause right here to say
That I'm talking about our freedom
