lyrics

I shall not be moved from this here counter
I will not be told that I can't stay
I will not be made to sit in silence
I am not afraid
I shall not be burned w sticks of fire
I know why the hooded hide their face
Even though they hang high my father
I refuse to hate
& the blood of God comes pourin' down
To heal the faithful
& to feed the saints
& to grace the graceless
& I shall not be moved from this place
I will not be made to work for hours
I will not be pulled apart that way
I will not earn cancer for your dollars
I am not a slave
I shall not be moved from Love's table
Even though you take away my plate
I will eat the Bread of Life my brother
Even though you hate
To see the blood of God come pourin' down
To heal the faithful
& to feed the saints
& to grace the graceless
& I shall not be moved from this place
& I shall not be moved from this place
& I shall not be moved form this place
