Chariots Over Birmingham

Darkness filled the sky as I rolled into town
Found many of my friends were still sleeping underground
My heart was beating fast and the cars were moving slow
Waiting for the chariot to come swinging, swinging low
She said that she was slave, and I told her I was free
She put shackles on my wrists, and we fell onto her sheets
My heart was beating fast, and her hands were moving slow
Still I couldn't feel that chariot come swinging, swinging low
She looked in my eyes for a savior
Brushed her lips across my face to feel my fever
A delirium she hoped would free her
I knew she wasn't searching there for me
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
With grace that is new every morning
A new creation woke beneath her knotted bedsheets
I lay there as she played with my hair
I could only hope she found Christ in me somewhere
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming ?for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me,
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, Swing low
Why don't you swing low
Well, I thought as the plane left the runway
How the two of us shook hands and parted ways
Well, the radio crackled and explained
That the Mason-Dixon shimmered up ahead
Well, I looked over Jordan
And what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
Oh, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me, coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low
Why don't you swing low?
Well, if you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'll be coming there too
Coming for to carry me home
Oh, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, swing low
Why don't you swing low?
Coming for to carry me home
