### **Verse 1** *Drawn from the water, saved from death's decree* *Raised in Pharaoh's house, but not who I'm meant to be* *I saw my brother beaten, struck the Egyptian down* *Now I'm running through the desert, far from Egypt's crown* ### **Verse 2** *Forty years a shepherd, tending Jethro's flock* *Then I saw the burning bush upon the holy rock* *"Take off your sandals, Moses, you're on sacred ground"* *"I AM has sent you back to Egypt, let my people be unbound"* ### **Chorus** *From the river to the mountain* *I will lead them through* *With the staff of God Almighty* *And His name so true* *Let my people go, Pharaoh* *Jehovah's made His stand* *From the river to the mountain* *To the Promised Land* ### **Verse 3** *Ten plagues upon Egypt, Pharaoh's heart stays hard* *Blood and frogs and darkness, every firstborn marked* *But we painted blood on doorposts, the angel passed us by* *Now we're marching out of bondage beneath the eastern sky* ### **Bridge** *The sea stands before us, the army behind* *But I stretch out my hand and the waters divide* *We walk through on dry ground, the walls on either side* *Egypt's chariots are covered by the tide* ### **Verse 4** *Forty years of wandering, manna from above* *Water from the rock, Jehovah's faithful love* *On Sinai's peak I stood, the Law within my hands* *But I struck the rock in anger, now I can't enter the land* ### **Final Verse** *I see it from the mountain, the land of milk and honey* *Joshua will lead them, the promise isn't funny* *I've brought them from the river, to the mountain's final height* *Now I pass the staff to Joshua, he'll finish the good fight*
