Lyrics
STAY RIGHTEOUS Peter Stein
STAY RIGHTEOUS
BLESS YOUR ENEMIES
STAY RIGHTEOUS
GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
MOSES WENT TO THE PHAROAH
HE SAID LET MY PEOPLE GO
THE PHAROAH SAID NO WAY MOSES
THE ANSWER IS NO NO NO
AND MOSES SAID, I GOT SOME ADVICE FOR YOU
BUT IT DON?T COME FOR FREE
FREEDOM AINT IN YOUR KINGDOM
FREEDOM IS WHAT YOU?RE GONNA GIVE TO ME
JONAH WENT TO NINEVEH
HE TRAVELLED IN THE BELLY OF A WHALE
AND WHEN HE GOT THERE - THE PEOPLE SAID
WE HEARD EVERY WORD YOU SAID
BUT HE DIDN?T LIKE THAT
THEY WERE HIS ENEMY
HE DIDN?T HAVE THAT LOVE IN HIS HEART
SO HE CRIED OUT TO HIS MAKER
AND THIS IS WHAT HIS MAKER SAID
