This Wicked Race

(álbum: Streets I Have Walked - 1963)

My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
This wicked race, this wicked race
My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
And raise up a nation that shall obey

My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
This wicked race, this wicked race
My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
And raise up a nation that shall obey

Sister Mary wore three links of chain
Three links of chain, three links of chain
Sister Mary wore three links of chain
And every link was in my Jesus name

Nicodemus he desire to know
Desire to know, desire to know
Nicodemus he desire to know
How can a man be born again

My Lord said a fire is gonna take place
Is gonna take place, is gonna take place
My Lord said a fire is gonna take place
And you can only be saved by grace

Brother Daniel pray three times a day
Three times a day, three times a day
Brother Daniel pray three times a day
And these are the words I heard him say

My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
This wicked race, this wicked race
My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
And raise up a nation that shall obey

Sister Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was in my Jesus name
Sister Mary [?] joy
She gave birth to the Jesus boy

Brother Daniel love the master's law
Saved him from the lion's jaw
Brother Daniel pray three times a day
These are the words I heard him say

My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
This wicked race, this wicked race
My Lord's gonna move this wicked race
And raise up a nation that shall obey
That shall obey, that shall obey
That shall obey, that shall obey
That shall obey, that shall obey
That shall obey, that shall obey...
