Oh, de Lawd Shake de Heavens / Leavin’ Fo’ de Promis’ Lan’

[Part I: Oh, de Lawd Shake de Heavens]

[Verse 1]
Oh, the Lord shake the heavens and the Lord rock the ground
Ah
And where you gon' stand, my brother and my sister
When the sky come a-tumblin' down?

[Chorus]
Oh, the sun goin' to rise in the west
And the moon goin' to set in the sea
And the stars goin' to bow before my Lord
Bow down before my Lord
Who died on Calvary

[Verse 2]
Oh, the Lord raise the water and the hypocrite drown
Ah
And where you gon' stand, my brother and my sister
When the sky comes a-tumblin' down?

[Part II: Leavin' Fo' de Promis' Lan']

[Verse]
Oh, the train is at the station
And you better get on board
'Cause it's leavin' today
Leavin' today, leavin' today
Oh, the train is at the station
And you better get on board
'Cause it's leavin' today
And it's headin' for the Promise Lan'

[Chorus]
Oh, we're leavin' for the Promise Lan'
Leavin' for the Promise Lan'
Keep that drivin' wheel a-rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', oh
Until we meet our brother in the Promise Lan'
In the Promise Lan'

[Part III: Oh, de Lawd Shake de Heavens (Reprise)]

[Chorus]
Oh, the sun goin' to rise in the west
And the moon's goin' to set in the sea
And the stars goin' to bow before my Lord
Bow down before my Lord
Who died on Calvary
Who died on Calvary
