lyrics

1. Up from my youth, may Israel say,
Have I been nursed in tears;
My griefs were constant as the day,
And tedious as the years.

Up from my youth I bore the rage
Of all the sons of strife;
Oft they assailed my riper age,
But not destroyed my life.

2. Their cruel plow had torn my flesh
With furrows long and deep;
Hourly they vexed my wounds afresh,
Nor let my sorrows sleep.

The Lord grew angry on his throne,
And, with impartial eye,
Measured the mischiefs they had done,
Then let his arrows fly.

We had some dark days, dark clouds hid the sun;
And there were days where it looked like the devil won.
We were afflicted but never forsaken;
Struck down but not destroyed, we never took a L.
Up from my youth, yea the devil was busy,
But the Lord cut the cord of the wicked.
So your power gone, zoom now we gone;
He beat death, death dead like a dial tone.
All glory to the Most High;
They tried to bury us but this movement just won’t die.
The victory's in Christ, yea he won, it aint no tie;
He coming back too on them clouds, yea he so fly.
Every tribe and every tongue like a symphony;
Rap a verse, sing a song to the King of Kings.
We want all the smoke, that means we're not afraid;
What you gone do to that man? He got out the grave!

3. How was their insolence surprised
To hear his thunders roll!
And all the foes of Zion seized
With horror to the soul!
