"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!
