Tell them the reason why you crying children
Tell them, tell them,
Tell them the reason why you shed those tears
If I never did right
Or if I ever did wrong, wrong, wrong
It's because situation arise
Where things don't seem to belong
Trial and crosses are always before me
Thorns and prickles in a my way, my way
Ezekiel 2:6
With the task-master always behind me
Waiting for a chance to take my life away
And my burdens!
They're getting heavy and heavier every day. My burdens!
Psalm 38:4; Matthew 23:4
I'm like one who labours without no pay. My burdens!
Sweating like a slave to live another day. My burdens!
If I didn't follow my mind I would be gone astray. My burdens!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For silver and gold, have I none, have I none
Silver and Gold, have I none, have I none
Silver, silver, silver and gold, have I none, have I none
Silver and gold, have I none, have I none
Acts 3:6-7
Tell them, tell them,
Tell them the reason why you crying children
Tell them, tell them,
Tell them the reason why you shed those tears
Working 'round the clock and obeying the gong
Like the weak who's got to feed the strong
I got to carry my load like a child of Israel
Battering and dragging along, along
Blessed is the man who keepeth his faith
And hope for the day of his great redemption
Jeremiah 17:7
To get away from grief and hate
And into the joys of the sweet liberations
Slave driver!
It's just work, work, work and get no pay. Slave driver!
Sledge hammer in my hand and the pain in my chest. Slave driver!
Dry bone crying in the wilderness. Slave driver!
Ezekiel 37:1-2; Luke 3:4; John 1:23
Only muscle and blood can stand the test. Slave driver!
Oh yes!
For Moses Children!
I know, was in the shadows of death, the shadows a death
Psalm 23:4; Ps. 107:14
But Moses Children!
They rose from strength to strength
For Moses Children!
I know, was in the shadows of death, the shadows a death
But Moses Children!
They rose from strength to strength
repeat until the end.
