  • A SLAVE’S FREEDOM VICTORY PRAYER

    Lord descend on us your blessings of Freedom

    You have given us wisdom

    Yet we have been beaten and torn throughout

    Our scars from streaks of whipping thorns

    Lord we Slaves pray to the Heavens that we will once be free

    This plantation of turmoil makes us want to flee

    However, your spirit is wise and strong

    Our Faith in believing is where we belong

    No matter how long

    We have spiritual songs to help us get along

    Slavery is totally wrong

    It’s those struggles that come along

    We Slaves shall rise

    The Plantation Owners are in for a surprise

    We Slaves are fully energized

    But this situation will be puzzled faces with a realize

    It’s God’s Heaven I must emphasize

    We will see our new sunrise

    We Slaves will never have to apologize

    Our hope is in the Heavens

    Tomorrow will be a wonder

    Our Freedom will find us yonder
