Slavery chain done broke at last

lundi 15 mai 2006

Slavery chain done broke at last
Broke at last, broke at last
Slavery chain done broke at last
Going to praise God till I die

1 Way up in that valley
Praying on my knees
Telling God about my troubles
And to help me if He please

2 I did tell Him how I suffer
In the dungeon and the chain
And the days I went with head bowed down
And my broken flesh and pain (but brethren)

3 I did know my Jesus heard me
’Cause the Spirit spoke to me
And said : "Rise my child, my children
And you too shall be free"

4 I done pint one mighty captain
For to marshall all my hosts
And to bring my beedings ones to me
And not one shall be lost

5 Now no more weary traveling
’Cause my Jesus set me free
And there’s no more auction block for me
Since He gave me liberty

Slavery chain done broke at last
