COME DOWN- John Work 1907

CHORUS: Come down,
Come down my Lord,
Come down,
Way down in Egypt land.

1. Jesus Christ, He died for me,
Way down in Egypt land;
Jesus Christ, He set me free,
Way down in Egypt land.

CHORUS:

2. Born of God I know I am,
Way down in Egypt land;
I'm purchased by the dying lamb
Way down in Egypt land.

3. Peter walked along the sea,
Way down in Egypt land.
And Jesus said, "Come to me."
Way down in Egypt land.
