Go Down Moses

When Israel was in Egypt land, Let my people go.
Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land, Tell ol’ Pharaoh, Let my people go.
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said, Let my people go.
If not, I’ll smite your people dead, Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land, Tell ol’ Pharaoh, Let my people go.
As Israel stood by the water side, Let my people go.
By God’s command it did divide, Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land, Tell ol’ Pharaoh, Let my people go.

Psalm 23 A song of David

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.
Even when I walk in the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me;
With rod and staff You comfort me.
You have set a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
