Let my people...

edited December 1969 in Hymns Discussion
Hi,
Does anybody know the lyrics and audio for Let My People Go? if it's not to much to ask, and if no one has heard it, it's on a fresh prince of bel air episode, lol, but it's about Moses letting the isrealites (slaves for building the egyptian pyramids) free!

Forever,

  • no idea ???
  • [Chorus]
    Thus saith the Lord:
    Since you refuse to free my people
    All through the land of Egypt...
    I send a pestilence and plague
    Into your house, into your bed
    Into your streams, into your streets
    Into your drink, into your bread
    Upon your cattle, on your sheep
    Upon your oxen in your field
    Into your dreams, into your sleep
    Until you break, until you yield
    I send the swarm, I send the horde
    Thus saith the Lord

    [Moses]
    Once I called you brother
    Once I thought the chance
    to make you laugh
    Was all I ever wanted...

    [Chorus]
    I send the thunder from the sky
    I send the fire raining down

    [Moses]
    And even now I wish that God
    had chose another
    Serving as your foe on his behalf
    Is the last thing that I wanted...

    [Chorus]
    I send a hail of burning ice
    On ev'ry field, on ev'ry town

    [Moses]
    This was my home
    All this pain and devastation
    How it tortures me inside
    All the innocent who suffer
    From your stubbornness and pride...

    [Chorus]
    I send the locusts on a wind
    Such as the world has never seen
    On ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
    Until there's nothing left of green
    I send my scourge, I send my sword
    Thus saith the Lord!

    [Moses]
    You who I called brother
    Why must you call down another blow?

    [Chorus]
    I send my scourge, I send my sword

    [Moses]
    Let my people go!

    [Moses and Chorus]
    Thus saith the Lord!

    [Rameses]
    You who I called brother
    How could you have come to hate me so?
    Is this what you wanted?

    [Chorus]
    I send the swarm, I send the horde...

    [Rameses]
    Then let my heart be hardened
    And never mind how high the cost may grow
    This will still be so:
    I will never let your people go...

    [Chorus]
    Thus saith the Lord:

    [Moses]
    Thus saith the Lord:

    [Rameses]
    I will not...

    [Moses, Rameses, and Chorus]
    Let your/my people go!

    Written lyrics:

    [Choir]
    Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land. Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Let my people Go!
    [Louis]
    Now when Israel was in Egypt Land
    [Choir]
    Let my people Go!
    [Louis]
    Oppressed so hard they could not stand
    [Choir]
    Let my people Go!

    (Refrain)

    [Louis]
    So the Lord said; “Go down”
    [Choir]
    Go down
    [Louis]
    “Moses”
    [Choir]
    Moses
    [Louis]
    “Way down in Egypt land”
    [Choir]
    Way.. down!
    [Louis]
    “Tell ol’ Pharaoh to let my people go”
    [Choir]
    Let my people Go!


    [Louis]
    So Moses went to Egypt land.
    [Choir]
    Let my people Go!
    [Louis]
    He made ol’ Pharaoh understand …
    [Choir]
    Let my people Go!

    (Refrain)

    [Louis]
    Thus spoke the Lord bou’ Moses said
    [Choir]
