Exodus Pharaoh’s chains were heavy on their skin Four hundred years of dust and bitter tears But the God of Abraham had not forgotten them He heard the groaning, He saw their pain appear From a burning bush that would not be consumed A stuttering man received a holy call “Go tell the king, let My people go” Thus says the Lord, the Great I Am of all Exodus, Exodus, out of Egypt’s night Through the waters, through the sea so wide With a mighty hand and outstretched arm The Lord has come to save His bride Ten plagues fell like hammers on the land Blood, darkness, locusts, death at last The lamb was slain, the blood was on the door And the Angel of Death was forced to pass They fled with gold and silver in their hands Pharaoh’s army chasing through the tide Moses raised his staff above the sea The waters split — a highway opened wide Exodus, Exodus, out of Egypt’s night Through the desert where the Lord provides Manna falling, water from the rock The pillar leads them through the wild At Sinai, thunder shook the trembling ground The mountain smoked, the people stood in fear God gave them Law written by His finger Ten holy vows for all the world to hear At Sinai, thunder shook the trembling ground The mountain smoked, the people stood in fear God gave them Law written by His finger Ten holy vows for all the world to hear
