There’ll be no back seat for the Negro,
Prejudice cannot reach that shore;
Love, peace and tranquility,
Will be the joys forevermore.
Jim-crowism shall be forgotten,
Justice be given to everyone;
All alike will be Saints of Glory,
Praising the Father and the Son.
No race shall be called superior,
For we all were made alike;
God has no respect to person,
Be he black or be he white.
The streets are gold and the gates are pearl,
Yet Segregation is not there;
No one ever scorns another,
But in loving communion the joys they share.
The rich, the poor, the black, the white,
He died for every one;
The lowest can be cleansed and saved,
By believing on the Son.
[DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE]
Sometime success, sometimes failures,
In life’s battle we often meet;
But its our duty to keep on climbing,
Whether a victory or defeat.
Let us then keep moving onward,
Never get discouraged and stop;
If we keep on climbing upward,
We will some day reach the top.
When we reach the long-struggled-for summit,
With memory gazing o’er the past;
Clothed in pleasant smiles we’ll whisper,
Thanks be to God we are here at last.
