Lyrics

LET MY PEOPLE GO
(This cherished song, dating back to the struggles of the underground railroad in the 1800s, continues to inspire us in the struggle for civil rights and the preservation of Freedom. Ann M. Wolf has written a third verse and chorus for such a time as this.)

Slowly…
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt’s land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go.

Verse one…
When Israel was in Egypt’s land
Let my people go.
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go, so the Lord said

Chorus:
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt’s land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go.

Verse Two:
So Moses went to Egypt’s land, to say…
Let my people go.
To make old Pharaoh understand
Let my people go… cause the Lord said…

Chorus:
Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let my people go.

Verse Three:
The time has come again to speak
Let my people go!
To teach the Truth & free His sheep
Let my people go!

Chorus:
And the Lord said, go down, go down
Pull down the walls that formed
Teach them Freedom
And let my people go

Slow down….
And the Lord said, go down, go down
Break all bondage formed
Teach them Freedom
And let my people go
Up tempo…

Go down Moses
Way down in Egypt’s land
Tell all Pharaohs
To let my people go.
Let my people go.
Let my people go.
