Freedom Is Coming

“Freedom Is Coming” is a powerful song from the South Africa anti-apartheid movement.

It’s sung in a call response pattern between the song leader and congregation and therefore a bit trickier to lead than it may sound. Feel free to choose a different song if it feels like too much.

The congregation’s lyrics are . . .

Freedom is coming
Freedom is coming
Freedom is coming, oh yes I know

Subsequent verses vary, following on the song leader's call . . .

Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming, oh yes I know

And . . . 

Oh yes I know
Oh yes I know
Oh yes I know
Oh yes I know

Here is a helpful teaching track made by our own Debbie Holloway.

And here is a YouTube performance to help give you a sense of what it sounds like when it all comes together.
