Verse 1 Down in Egypt, under Pharaoh's hand, God heard the cries across the land. A baby floated on the river's tide, The Lord was working, though the world was blind. A burning bush in desert flame, Called out Moses by his name. "Take off your sandals, holy ground you stand, Go tell Pharaoh My command." Chorus Let My people go, let My people go, Through the mighty signs and wonders God would show. From slavery's chains to freedom's road, Led by fire and cloud wherever they would go. The God of Abraham keeps every vow, Then and forever, He's still doing it now. Let My people go, let My people go, The Lord redeems His own. Verse 2 The waters turned and darkness fell, The plagues proclaimed what Israel could tell. No king on earth could stop God's hand, The Great I AM ruled every land. The Passover lamb's blood on the door, Judgment passed and they were spared once more. A picture of the Savior yet to come, The spotless Lamb, God's only Son. Chorus Let My people go, let My people go, Through the mighty signs and wonders God would show. From slavery's chains to freedom's road, Led by fire and cloud wherever they would go. The God of Abraham keeps every vow, Then and forever, He's still doing it now. Let My people go, let My people go, The Lord redeems His own. Bridge Then the sea stood up like walls of blue, Israel crossed while Pharaoh pursued. The horse and rider sank below, Salvation came through waters' flow. At Sinai's peak the mountain shook, God gave His Law and sealed His Book. Though hearts were weak and prone to stray, His mercy guided them each day. Verse 3 The tabernacle rose beneath the sky, A dwelling place where God drew nigh. His glory filled that sacred tent, A sign that He was present with them. The journey pointed far ahead, To Christ whose blood for sinners bled. The greater Exodus He would bring, Delivering all who trust their King. Final Chorus Let My people go, let My people go, From sin and death the Savior calls us home. Through wilderness and trials below, His grace will lead us where He wants us to go. The God who split the sea still reigns somehow, The Great I AM is with His people now. Let My people go, let My people go, The Lord redeems His own. Outro From Egypt's night to Heaven's shore, The God of Exodus reigns forevermore. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, The God of Exodus forevermore.
