Led Out Of Bondage

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

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 want the way to get out

'Cause in his mind he's beginning to doubt

And he said, "Lord, old Pharaoh, he 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 evil and wicked as sin

Then he cried again with an awful wail

And the Lord said, "Seize him 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

Well, 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 but the Lord helped out

He sent a plague to the land about

So old Pharaoh told him, he could go and let him be

Well, they started out with a cloud that day

And a fire by night to lead the way

But old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind

So he gathered together his soldier band

Got all them 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

Well they came to the banks of the old Red Sea

Turned to Moses and started to plea

And Moses fell on his knees and there in the sand

The Lord said, "Moses, trust in God

'Cause all you gotta do is just raise that rod

And over these mighty waters stretch your hand"

Well Moses followed the Lord's command

The waters parted and there in the sand

They saw a path that led to the other shore

Well, the ground was dry and they passed on through

And old Pharaoh's army thought they would too

But the waters fell, they ain't 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 said He'd guide and protect them on their journey

And lead them to the promised land
