Freedom! It's carved in stone They're marching on Deliverance divinely conspired Through desert nights Once dead to rights Now following a pillar of fire It was written So it shall be done Generations of slavery Seek the God that they know Crush the heart of Pharaoh Let my people go At long last from Egypt released
Exodus! Great power displayed Cycle of plagues Four hundred thirty years in chains Come to an end To march again Proclaim the end of Pharaoh's reign Led by staff and rod Chosen of God Descended of Abraham Displacing governments Mark the Holy covenant Forge the hope of Israel To enter the promised land One day the Chosen One shall lead the way!
Shout of the heart of stone March from Egypt into the unknown Oh, God of Abraham Mercy, sacrifice, Passover Lamb Relentless, the Pharaoh's pride Recaptured slavery or genocide Now let the chase begin His heart of stone reformed And piece by broken piece It's hardened once again!
[Part II: Deliverance]
Galloping horses and chariots pursue Into the desert they charge Six hundred chosen of Pharaoh break through Children of Israel, they see you from afar
All the king's horses and all the king's men Captains and armies obey their decree Nation of pride and deceit closing in While a nation of helplessness kept by the edge of the sea
The children of Israel now lift up their eyes The shadow's approaching; their freedom at stake Chaos and panic and fear for their lives Death on both sides; there is no escape
The Angel of God, the cloud and the fire It moves from the front to guard the behind Unto the chosen, a life-giving pyre A God of confusion unto the blind
Stand still, and see salvation (stand still, and see salvation) Lift up thy rod, stretch forth thy hand (lift up thy rod, stretch forth thy hand) The raging sea divided (the raging sea divided) Proceed upon dry land
East wind splits the sea and Israel passes through two walls of grace Blinded by pride Egypt follows on this fatal chase
And the Red Sea crashes down The walls destroying all the evil Raise your eyes, behold: the wicked drown and lie eternally At the bottom of the sea
I will sing unto the Lord for He hath triumphed gloriously (Hallelujah) The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea (Hallelujah) Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea (Hallelujah) His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea (Hallelujah)
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) Thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) Though hast overthrown them in the greatness of thine excellency (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah) The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone (Hallelujah) (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
[Part III: Trial]
The scales have been presented and I have been found lacking My spirit has been tested and I have been found dead The verdict is submitted and I have been found guilty The curse has eaten through me since first I was mislead
Oh, wretched man that I am Who will deliver me?
Body of death is this corrupted flesh I am wearing With every breath is this crushing burden that I am bearing It seems so simple: I'm striving for what I never can be Guilt is my temple; I cannot escape from this prison of me!
Stumble and fall on my face again And throw my hands to the sky Have mercy on my soul and hear my cry
I slowly lift my eyes to see An ancient cross of the dead Blood streaming down it into a sea of red
So I rise and run to the shore Of this sea of righteousness Sanctified now forevermore I dive into forgiveness And float away...
[Part IV: Grace]
And the Red Sea crashes down (and the Red Sea crashes down) Destroying all my evil (destroying all my evil) I sleep beneath the endless waves of Grace (sleep beneath the endless waves of Grace) I float within the heart of Peace (float within the heart of Peace) At last my soul has found release (found release, found release) Within the sea of its eternal resting place (sea of its eternal resting place) I'm cleansed within; I'm cleansed without The Red Sea crashes all around A baptism; a holy trial (the Red Sea crashes all around) I am overcome and overwhelmed I take the swim eternal (the swim eternal) I'm swept away; it washes me (it washes me) It washes me forever!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
