Don'T Let My History Dye

Don’t Let My History Die Don’t let my history die Dear children of tomorrow; The accomplishments of our peoples’ past Their heartaches and their sorrows. Don’t let my history die The stories of picking cotton with bare hands; Through the extreme heat and many rainy days They spent traveling through this land. Don’t let my history die The story of how far we as a people have come; Praying all through those days of slavery Asking more strength from our God’s Son. Don’t let my history die Thinking only of today; For we never know what tomorrow will bring Therefore we should always pray. Don’t let my history die Thinking thyself wiser than our God For our people of the hard days past Paved a better way for you to trod.
