Edited by Leonidas A. Johnson
Psalm 8
“Free at Last”
FREE at last, free at last,
Thank God a’ mighty I’m free at last.
1 Surely been ’buked and surely been scorned,
Thank God a’mighty, I’m free at last.
But still my soul is a heaven born,
Thank God a’mighty, I’m free at last.
2 If you don’t know that I been redeemed,
Thank God a’mighty, I’m free at last.
Just follow me down to Jordan’s stream,
Thank God a’mighty, I’m free at last.
(Songs of Zion 1981, 80)
Prayer Focus: Let justice run down like water and righteousness like a
mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
BIOY: 1 Samuel 8–11 (76/289)
Before I'd Be a Slave
BEFORE I’d Be a Slave,
I’d be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be saved.
1 O, what preachin’! O, what preachin’!
O, what preachin’ over me, over me!
2 O, what mourning, …
3 O, what singing, …
4 O, what shouting, …
5 O, weeping Mary, …
6 Doubting Thomas, …
7 O, what sighing, …
8 O, Freedom, …

all that power in me!
