RYTHM
The rhythm of bondage moved and swayed you
It grooved and played you, wore you out!
Off beats under sun’s heat scorched and slayed you
You tread out corn with corned feet into corn meal
Your concave belly was yet to been filled,
with no promise ever of a refill
The notes of crying tones and moans
became your high noon song
Tears stained the music sheets,
as your fellow sheep bleat
to the same death beat
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
The command was sent out
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
The old vinyl record scratched and rubout.
A new sound went out across eternity
A trembling like thunder came from down under
For the keys were taken
Death, hell and the grave were beaten and . . . now
The drums of freedom resuscitated your heartbeat.
The trumpets blare
woke you and declare
your light has come
God’s Glory has risen
You have been Vindicated
Exonerated, Liberated!
Freed from everything you hated
That berated your soul
Your wounds are closed,
Your mind is restored
You are whole
Your ears now tune into a new sound,
a new song
You hear the church’s bell gong
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!
Your belly is now satisfied with the bread of heaven
Quenched with the Living Water springing up in your soul
Now you overflow with Love and Holy Fire,
Spreading the good news everywhere not for hire
The Kingdome of God has come
the oppressed can now go free
The deaf can hear
The blind can see
The dead can live
The sinner He will forgive
Jesus has come!
Jesus saves!
The curse has been broken
Step out of line with the lie.
Get aligned with the truth
For Jesus has risen!
Salvation is the gift given
Salvation is the gift given!
