"Go Down, Philip!"

Copyright 2012, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

Go, take the southbound Gaza road

And spread the news to the ones who haven't heard;

Then, as you do, to whoever you should meet

You can send my peace and my love.

  

No one knows the story;

No one has heard you'll sing;

No one knows what your eyes have seen

Or the world that I can bring.

   

Out on the dusty Gaza road

You'll find a prince with a burning need to know;

You shall be his light and reveal the hidden truths

And proclaim the Word in his sight.

 

(Chorus)

Go Down, Philip!

 

Boldly, without hindrance, lovingly illumine;

Carry his soul to cleansing waters;

I will clothe him with love and give him life!

 

Off down the winding Gaza road

He will take these seeds to his native land to sow;

But for you, my son, off to Ashdod you will go

To proclaim the Word and save souls.

 

(Chorus)

Go Down, Philip!

00:00 / 04:02
