Exodus (feat. Jesse Cline & Kenzie Katlyn)

Compositor: Eddie James

For four hundred years
My people never heard the sound of freedom
We cried many tears
To the God of our fathers
Adonai

Yahweh promised to save
And how we long for that great day
The day of deliverance
The day of freedom

From a burning bush
God called a man
Who was sent from the wrath of the pharaoh
Pharaoh slaughtered millions of children
But this one became son of pharaoh's daughter

Moses, drawn out from the river
Take off your shoes, you are on holy ground
I'm raising you up
To tell pharaoh: Let my people go!
(Pharaoh, let my people go!)
(Pharaoh, let my people go!)

I'm sending this place
I'm sending pestilence
So hear what I say
Let my people go!
(Pharaoh, let my people go!)

Turning water into blood
I'm sending frogs
I'm sending lice
Let my people go!
(Pharaoh, let my people go!)

Flies will be everywhere
Your livestock will die
Boils, hails, locusts
Darkness will fill the sky
(Pharaoh, let my people go!)

And every house
All over Egypt
Except those covered by the blood of the lamb
The firstborn die
The pharaoh cries saying
Moses, take Israel and go!

When we first left Egypt
We thought victory was won
Little did we know
That the pharaoh was not done
But with pharaoh's army behind
And the Red Sea before
Moses lifted up his rod
And he called by the name of the lord

(And the sea split)
Parted in two
Pharaoh and his army drowned
But we came on through

(And the sea split)
Parted in two
Pharaoh and his army drowned
But we came on through

I've been delivered (I've been delivered)
I've been set free (I've been set free)
The horse and the rider (the horse and the rider)
Are drowned in the Red Sea

God broke the chains (God broke the chains)
Of captivity (of captivity)
Hallelujah!
I've been delivered
I've been set free

When we crossed over
Coming out of the water
We looked back and wondered
At the horse and the rider
Pharaoh and his army are defeated and destroyed
Oh the shouting, the singing and dancing for joy

(And the sea split)
Parted in two
Pharaoh and his army drowned
But we came on through

(And the sea split)
Parted in two
Pharaoh and his army drowned
But we came on through

I've been delivered (I've been delivered)
I've been set free (I've been set free)
The horse and the rider (the horse and the rider)
Are drowned in the Red Sea

God broke the chains (God broke the chains)
Of captivity (of captivity)
Hallelujah!
I've been delivered
I've been set free

When God delivered Israel from Egypt
They didn't come crawling out
Trying to wade through the Red Sea
When God brought them out of Egypt

They came out with some boldness
They came out with an edge
They came out with some fervency
They came out with passion
They came out with Miriam in her tambourine
Saying that the horse and the rider are thrown into the sea

Oh, and I'm hearing that tambourine in my spirit
And I know there's a church mama in here somewhere
That's got a tambourine out here singing

No bondage, no chains, no shackles, no shame
No yokes, no fear, my freedom is here
No jail, no cage, no prison, no slaves
It's jubilee, the captives are free

No bondage, no chains, no shackles, no shame
No yokes, no fear, my freedom is here
No jail, no cage, no prison, no slaves
It's jubilee, the captives are free

When I came out, I came out with boldness
When I came out, I came out with power
When I came out, I came out in victory
Who the son sets free
Is free indeed

I've been delivered (I've been delivered)
I've been set free (I've been set free)
The horse and the rider (the horse and the rider)
Are drowned in the Red Sea

God broke the chains (God broke the chains)
Of captivity (of captivity)
Hallelujah!
I've been delivered
I've been set free
I've been set free
