Lyrics
THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
He came in a time when
Those in the world were slaves
To the devil and to sin
So many dead, not in their graves
CHORUS 1
He was the Great Emancipator
And with His death, and with His blood
His burial and resurrection
He proved to us that God is love
With that mysterious proclamation
He called for our emancipation
He was the Great Emancipator
The day that He arrived
Satan trembled with great fear
Evil’s throne could not thrive
For Jubilee was getting near
REPEAT CHORUS 1
BRIDGE
For He had come to save
To set the people free
And He’s still here today
And millions can now see
CHORUS 2
He is the Great Emancipator
And with His death, and with His blood
His burial and resurrection
He proves to us that God is love
With that mysterious proclamation
He calls for our emancipation
He is the Great Emancipator
With that mysterious proclamation
He called for our emancipation
He is the Great Emancipator
He is the Great Emancipator
