We fled the kings for the promised land
It could be ours with the help of his holy hand
It just takes a sacrifice of blood
God’s providence for me
Our manifest destiny
Do not take the name of the Lord God in vain
We fled from ruthless and evil rule
Found others to stand on, and the verses to use
So we said they were cursed people
Stole away their birth names, too
Slaves, serve your masters as God commanded you
Do not take the name of the Lord God in vain
I tell my children they’re innocent
That they deserve all the blessings they get
We applaud our charity
but justice will have to wait
While we lift up our bibles and whitewash our sins away
Do not take the name of the Lord God in vain
