Didn t my lord deliver daniel lyrics

Paul Robeson Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel

Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.

He delivered daniel from the lion's den,
jonah from the belly of the whale.
And the hebrew children from the fiery furnace,
then why not every man.

Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.

I set my foot on the gospel ship and the ship began to sail.
It landed me over on Canaan's shore and i'll never come back no more.

Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.

Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.
He delivered daniel from the lion's den,
Jonah from the belly of the whale.
And the hebrew children from the fiery furnace,
Then why not every man.

Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.
I set my foot on the gospel ship and the ship began to sail.
It landed me over on Canaan's shore and i'll never come back no more.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, deliver daniel, deliver daniel.
Didn't my lord deliver daniel, then why not every man.

Songs of Zion #106

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
Jonah from de belly of de whale
An’ de Hebrew chillun from de fiery furnace
An’ why not every man

De moon run down in a purple stream
De sun forbear to shine
An’ every star disappear
King Jesus shall-a be mine
De win’ blows eas’ an’ de win’ blows wes’
It blows like a judgement day
An’ every po’ sinner dat never did pray’ll
Be glad o pray dat day

Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
An’ why not-a every man.
I see my foot on de Gospel ship
An’ de ship begin to sail
It landed me over on Canaan’s shore
An’ I’ll never come back no mo’

Can’t you see it’s coming
Can’t you see it’s coming
Can’t you see it’s coming…
