Lyrics didnt my lord deliver daniel

Refrain
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel,
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel,
Then why not a every man?

1. He delivered Daniel from the lion’s den,
Jonah from the belly of a whale,
And the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace,
Then why not every man?

The wind blows east and the wind blows west,
It blows like a judgment day,
And every poor soul that never did pray
Will be glad to pray that day. Refrain

I set my foot On the gospel ship,
And the ship it begin to sail,
And it landed me over On Canaan’s shore,
And I’ll never come back anymore. Refrain

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my lord deliver Daniel,
Then why not a every man?
He delivered Daniel
From the lion's den,
And Jonah from the belly of the whale,
And the Hebrew children
From the fiery furnace,
Then why not every man?

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my lord deliver Daniel,
Then why not a every man?
I set my foot
On the gospel ship,
And the ship it begin to sail,
And it landed me over
On Canaan's shore,
And I'll never come back anymore.

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel?
Didn't my lord deliver Daniel,
Then why not a every man?

Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel

From The Book of American Negro Spirituals by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson (New York: Viking, 1940).

• Chorus
  Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
  Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel
  Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
  Then why not every man?

1. He delivered Daniel from the lions’ den
   Jonah from the belly of the whale
   And the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace
   So why not every man.
2. The moon come down in a purple stream
   And the sun forbear to shine
   And every soul that never pray say
   King Jesus shall be mine.
3. I put my foot on the gospel ship
   And the ship it began to sail
   It sailed right over to Canaan’s shore
   And I’ll never come back any more.
5. The wind blows east, the wind blows west
   It blows like the judgment day
   And every soul that never prayed
   Will be glad to pray on that day.

Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
An’ why not-a every man.

He delivered Daniel from de lion’s den
Jonah from de belly of de whale
An’ de Hebrew chillun from de fiery furnace
An’ why not every man

De moon run down in a purple stream
De sun forbear to shine
An’ every star disappear
King Jesus shall-a be mine
De win’ blows eas’ an’ de win’ blows wes’
It blows like a judgement day
An’ every po’ sinner dat never did pray’ll
Be glad o pray dat day

Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel
Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel
An’ why not-a every man.
I see my foot on de Gospel ship
An’ de ship begin to sail
It landed me over on Canaan’s shore
An’ I’ll never come back no mo’

Can’t you see it’s coming
Can’t you see it’s coming
Can’t you see it’s coming…
