  Chorus:

  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

  Verse 1:

  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

  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

  Verse 2:

  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”

  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
