| God promised to lead His children out of bondage
|
| He said He’d free them from Pharaoh’s evil hand
|
| He said He’d guide and protect them on their journey
|
| And lead them to the promised land
|
| God’s children were slaves in Egypt land
|
| So God took Moses by the hand
|
| He said, «Moses, tell old Pharaoh to set 'em free»
|
| But Moses wanted a way to get out
|
| 'Cause in his mind he was beginning to doubt
|
| And he said, «Lord, old Pharaoh ain’t gonna listen to me»
|
| Now the Lord said, «Son, throw down that rod"'
|
| Old Moses did and he cried to God
|
| Because it turned to a snake, as wicked and evil as sin
|
| Then he cried again with an awful wail
|
| For the Lord said, «Seize it by the tail»
|
| Old Moses did and it turned to a rod again
|
| Now, the Lord said, «Moses, I’ve got power
|
| And I’ll be with you every hour»
|
| Said, «Go tell Pharaoh to set my children free»
|
| Well, Moses did, the Lord helped out
|
| He sent the plagues to the land about
|
| So old Pharaoh told him to go and let him be
|
| So they started out with a cloud that day
|
| And a fire by night would lead the way
|
| 'Til old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind
|
| So he gathered together his soldier band
|
| Got all the chariots throughout the land
|
| Said, «I'll let them Israelites go some other time» |
