Ride the Chariot as performed by Lagos City Chorale

Ride the Chariot was performed by Lagos City Chorale directed by Prof. Emeka Nwokedi
"Ride the Chariot" is a traditional Black spiritual that has been arranged for choral performance several times, most notably by William Henry Smith in 1939.
Like many spirituals, "Ride the Chariot" had special meaning both during slavery and the Civil Rights movement. Specifically, during slavery "I'm gonna ride the chariot in the morning" meant "the escape attempt is tomorrow."
I'm gonna ride the chariot in the morning, Lord
I'm gonna ride the chariot in the morning, Lord
I'm gettin' ready for the Judgment Day
I'm waitin' for my chariot 'cause I'm ready to go
Are you ready, my brother?
Are you ready for the journey?
Do you want to see your Jesus
I'm waitin' for my chariot 'cause I'm ready to go
Are you ready, my sister?
Are you ready for the journey?
Do you want to see your Jesus
I'm waitin' for my chariot 'cause I'm ready to go
I never can forget that day
When all my sins were taken away
My feet were snatched from the miry clay
I'll serve my Lord 'til Judgment Day
