Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel?
A traditional slave spiritual
Well, right now it's just me -- been hard at work composing, arranging, and getting my guitar chops back after decades of disuse. Hoping to interest some fellow players in turning this effort into a real performing act.
Lyrics
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, An' why not a every man?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel An' why not a every man?
He delivered Daniel from de lion's den, Jon-ah from the belly of de whale,
An' de Hebrew chillen from de fiery furnace, An' why not every man?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, de-liver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, An' why not a every man?
De moon run down in a purple stream, De sun forbear to shine,
An' every star will disappear, King Jesus shall be mine.
(Instrumentals)
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, de-liver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel, An why not a every man?
De win' blow eas' an' de win' blow wes', It blow like de judgament day.
An evry po' soul dat never did pray will be glad to pray dat day.
I set my foot on de Gospel ship, An' de ship begin for to sail.
It landed me over on Canaan's shore, An’ I'll never come back no more.
Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel? deliver Daniel, deliver Dan-iel?Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel? An' why not a every man?
