1 This song is called "Hold On" it is by the Jackson Southernaires. They are a black gospel quartet group. My brothers and sisters and I used to sing this all the time.
It's good you knew so many of the lyrics! The song is "Led out of Bondage" by R.L. Prather. One album that has the song is "Oh Happy Day" by The Statler Brothers.

Prather) « © '69 Peer International, BMI »God promised to lead his children out of bondageHe said he'd free them from Pharaoh's evil handHe said he'd guide and protect them on their journeyAnd lead them to the promised landGod's children were slaves in Egypt landSo God took Moses by the handHe said Moses tell old Pharaoh to set 'em freeBut Moses wanted a way to get outBecause in his mind he's beginning to doubtAnd he said Lord old Pharaoh he ain't a gonna listen to meWell the Lord said son throw down that rodOld Moses did and he cried to GodBecause it turned to a snake, as evil and wicked as sinThen he cried again with an awful wailAnd the Lord said seize him by the tailOld Moses did and it turned to a rod againGod promised to lead his children out of bondage...Well the Lord said Moses I've got powerAnd I'll be with you every hourSaid go tell Pharaoh to set my children freeWell Moses did but the Lord helped outHe sent a plague to the land aboutSo old Pharaoh told him he could go and let him beThey started out with a cloud that dayAnd a fire by night to lead the wayBut old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mindWell he gathered together his soldier bandGot all them chariots throughout the landSaid I'll let them Israelites go some other timeGod promised to lead his children out of bondage...Well they came to the banks of the ocean blueThey turned to Moses said what would we doAnd Moses fell on his knees and there in the sandThe Lord said Moses trust in GodAll you gotta do is just raise that rodOver these mighty waters stretch your handWell Moses followed the Lord's commandThe waters parted and there in the sandThey saw a path that led to the other shoreThe ground was dry and they passed on throughAnd old Pharaoh's army thought they would too.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
