When the Sea Became a Road

[Intro – whispered Hebrew] אָז יָשִׁיר מֹשֶׁה... מִי כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם ה׳... [Verse 1] Behind us, the thunder of iron wheels Before us, the mouth of the sea Children were crying, the night had no mercy No road, no shelter, no place to flee [Pre-Chorus] But the wind heard the promise And the waters obeyed The deep stood like walls Where fear used to reign [Chorus] When the sea became a road We walked between the waves With fire in the darkness And freedom in our veins When the sea became a road The chains fell into the deep Who is like You in the heavens? Who can wake the dead from sleep? [Hebrew Hook] מִי כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם ה׳ מִי כָמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ [Verse 2] Pharaoh came with chariots blazing Pride dressed in bronze and flame But the night split open like a wound And the slaves walked out by name [Bridge – heavy breakdown] תְּהֹמֹת יְכַסְיֻמוּ יָרְדוּ בִמְצוֹלֹת כְּמוֹ אָבֶן [Final Chorus] When the sea became a road Let every captive sing The storm became a doorway And the desert crowned the King [Outro – choir] ה׳ יִמְלֹךְ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד
