[Verse 1] Been all day working this field, Ol’ Mr. Snake been talking to me, Says, “You’re breaking your back for somebody else’s yield, How you gonna make it if you ain’t free? [Verse 2] Got dirt on my hands, sweat on my brow, Ain’t got much to call my own, Ol’ Mr. Snake keeps whispering low, “Man, you’re better off gone. You work all day, but what do you get? Just enough to carry on.” [Chorus] Oh Lord, hear me calling, I’m down here on my knees. Lord, if You’re somewhere listening, Won’t You come and rescue me? I’m tired of this battle, Lord, I'm tired [Verse 3] Ol’ Mr. Snake started laughing, Said, “Ain’t nobody coming for you.” But something changed inside me, Something I knew was true. I heard the Lord say, “Stand up, my child, and walk with Me. The chains may hold your body, But your soul was always free.” [Chorus] Oh Lord, hear me calling, I’m down here on my knees. Lord, if You’re somewhere listening, Won’t You come and rescue me? I’m tired of this battle, Lord, I'm tired [Bridge] I may be tired, but I’m still standing, I may be hurting, but I still believe. The devil can whisper all he wants to, But he can’t take what God gave me. [Outro] Tomorrow when the sun comes rising, I’ll walk back into that field. But I won’t walk there broken, And I won’t bow down to fear. Ol’ Mr. Snake can keep on talking, I know whose voice I’m gonna hear. The Lord is walking beside me, And freedom’s drawing near.
