About the Song

This was originally a Sundaty school or gospel song, "Deep Down in My Heart" ("I've got the love of Jesus...") But with a slight reworking of the words it becomes a freedom song.

I've got the love of freedom
Deep down in my heart
I've got the love of freedom
Deep down in my heart

C F C - / C G C - ://

And it's deep deep & it's down, down 
Deep down in my heart (repeat)

Ain't that the light of freedom / Deep down in my heart?...

I got the fire of justice...

I see a new day dawning...

I love everybody...

Charlie King says he learned this version of the song from Ted Warmbrandt.

This song is a favorite at Peoples Music Network gatherings.

Original lyrics: I've got the love of Jesus... etc.
