Jubilee!
"Jubilee!"
(Chorus)
Jubilee! Jubilee! Blow that trumpet of Liberty
Every 7 years, give the land a year long rest
Jubilee! Jubilee! Every 49 years
Cancel debts, set slaves free
Jubilee!
In the book of Leviticus, chapter 25
Yahweh spoke to Moses on the top of Mt. Sinai
God said tell all Israel, sometimes even earth
Needs a break from working
Or we might wear out the dirt!
Chorus
In the days of Leviticus, some folks were so poor
They were just not able to pay bills anymore
So the rich folks got all the property
And the poor folks became slaves
But the Jubilee was given
So it wouldn’t stay that way!
Chorus
(Chorus)
Jubilee! Jubilee! Blow that trumpet of Liberty
Every 7 years, give the land a year long rest
Jubilee! Jubilee! Every 49 years
Cancel debts, set slaves free
Jubilee!

God said tell all Israel, sometimes even earth
Needs a break from working
Or we might wear out the dirt!
Chorus
In the days of Leviticus, some folks were so poor
They were just not able to pay bills anymore
So the rich folks got all the property
And the poor folks became slaves
But the Jubilee was given
So it wouldn’t stay that way!
