This Wicked Race - Harry Belafonte

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…
