God promised to lead
his children out of bondage
He said he'd free them
from pharaoh's evil hand
He promised to guild
and protect them
on their journey
And lead them to
the promised land
God's children were slaves
in Egypt's land
So God took Moses
by the hand
Said Moses tell
ole pharaoh to set them free
But Moses wanted
a way to get out
'Cause in his mind
he's beginning to doubt
He said Lord ole pharaoh
ain't gonna listen to me
Well the Lord said son
throw down that rod
so Moses did
and he cried to God
'Cause it turned to a snake
as evil and wicked as sin
Then he cried again
when an awful wail
for the Lord said seize
him by the tail
So 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 promised to guild
and protect them
on their journey
And lead them to
the promised land
Now the Lord said Moses
I've got power
And I'll be with you every hour
Now go tell pharaoh
to set my children free
Well Moses did
and the Lord helped out
He sent the plagues
through the land about
Till pharaoh told him to go
and let him be
So they started out
by the cloud by day
and the fire by night
to lead the way
Till ole pharaoh suddenly
decided to change his mind
So he gathered together
his soldier band
Got all the chariots
through out the land
Said I'll let them
lsraelites 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 promised to guild
and protect them
on their journey
And lead them to
the promised land
When they came
to the banks of the ocean blue
they turned to Moses
and said what will we do
And ole Moses fell
to his knees there in the sand
Then Lord said Moses
trust in God
And all you've got to do
is raise that rod
and over these mighty
waters stretch forth your hand
So Moses followed
the Lord's command
and the waters parted
and there in the sand
They saw a path
that lead to the other shore
Well the ground was dry
and they passed on through
So pharaoh's army
thought they would too
But the waters fell and they've
never been seen no more
God promised to lead
his children out of bondage
He said he'd free them
from pharaoh's evil hand
He promised to guild
and protect them
on their journey
And lead them to
the promised land
God promised to lead
his children out of bondage
He said he'd free them
from pharaoh's evil hand
He promised to guild
and protect them
on their journey
And lead them to
the promised land
And lead them to
the promised land
Lead to the promised land
