Go Down Moses

Go Down Moses
Way Down in Egyptland
Tell old Pharoah
To let my people go

When Israel was in Egyptland
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go

Go down, Moses
Way down in Egyptland
Tell old Pharoah
"Let my people go"

"Thus saith the Lord, " bold Moses said,
"Let my people go"
If not I'll smite your first-born dead
Let my people go

"No more shall they in bondage toil,
       Let my people go;
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
       Let my people go."

The Lord told Moses what to do
       Let my people go
To lead the children of Israel through,
       Let my people go.

Go down, Moses,
     Way down in Egyptland
Tell old Pharoah,
  "Let my people go!"
Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel?

Didnt my Lord deliver Daniel
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?
An' why not everyman?

He delivered Daniel from de lion's den,
Jonah from de belly of de whale.

De moon run down in a purple stream,
De sun forbear to shine,
And every star disappear,
King Jesus shall be mine.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?
An' why not everyman?

De wind blows east and de wind blows west,
It blows like de judgement day,
And every poor soul dat never did pray'll
Be glad to pray dat day.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?
An' why not everyman?

I set my foot on de Gospel Ship,
An' de ship begin to sail.
It landed me over on Canaan's shore
And I'll never come back no more.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?
An' why not every man?
