The Winans - Let My People Go lyrics

Oh, Pharaoh was so evil In slaying God's most precious creations A wicked and hard taskmaster Applying suffering everyday They said "How long can this go on For our backs are about to break" Father replied, "I heard your cry And I'll make a way for your escape" Now if I have to part the sea To set my children free (These are my people) Oh, turn the river into blood Send the locust to devour (These are my people) Don't you know He said it Background said it back then Now He's saying it again Let my people go Cause these are my people Oh, my people Now we're looking at the same situation Over there in South Africa They're using different names but it's still Pharaoh Satan is behind it all Let us pray that they will heed our warning For the wrath of God is on its way There's still time for change and forgiveness But judgment's drawing closer everyday Whether black, whether white They're all precious in His sight (These are my people) Not another holocaust Where so many souls are lost (These are my people) You can't do as you please No not with these (These are my people) I can hear the spirit say Let them go and run away (These are my people) Said it back then Now He's saying it again Let my people go Let my people go These are my people You can't hide I hate evil, I hate apartheid You better stop abusin' [Unverified] Stop it with the k**in' And let My people go I never gave you the right To take another's life Let my people go Background You better stop abusin' [Unverified] Stop it with the k**in' And let my people go Free my people Break the shackles (Let my people go) Let the chains fall (Let my people go) I want em' to stand (Let my people go) And I want em' to stand tall (Let my people go) They're mine, she's mine He's mine, they're mine, you're mine You are my people These are my people Let my people go Let my people go You can't hide I hate evil, I hate apartheid
