Rob Gardner - Liberty lyrics

For six long months Joseph
And fellow prisoners
Suffered at Liberty Jail, in cold
Dark and filthy
Conditions even more unbearable was
That they were
Unable to accompany their family and friends
Who were being violently driven
From the state this
Was the fifth time in 10 years
The Saints were forced to leave their homes
In search of a place of refuge

Oh my affectionate Emma
I want you to remember that I am
A true and faithful friend to
You and the children, forever
My heart is entwined around
Yours forever and ever oh
May God bless you all… if God will spare
My life once more to have the
Privilege of taking care of you
I will ease your care and
Endeavor to comfort your heart

O God, where art thou? And where is
The pavilion that covereth
Thy hiding place? How long shall
Thy hand be stayed
And thine eye, yea thy pure eye
Behold from the eternal
Heavens the wrongs of thy people
And of thy servants
And thine ear be penetrated with their cries?

Joseph then recorded the Lord's
Reply: "My son
Peace be unto thy soul thine adversity and
Thine afflictions shall be but a small moment
And then, if thou endure it well
God shall exalt thee on high thou
Shalt triumph over all thy foes
