Out Of Bondage - Gaither Vocal Band Lyrics

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
Then the Lord said: Son, throw down that rod
And Moses did and he cried to God
Because it turned to a snake, as evil and wicked as sin
Then cried again with an awful wail
And the Lord said: Seize him by the tail
And 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
Now, the Lord said: Moses, I've got the power
And I'll be with you every hour
Go tell Pharaoh, set my children free
But Moses did the Lord helped out
He sent a plague to the land about
'Til Pharaoh told him, to go and let him be
So the started out with a cloud by day
And a fire by night for to lead the way
But suddenly Pharaoh decided to change his mind
So he gathered together his soldier band
Led 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
When they came to the banks of the ocean blue
They turned to Moses and said
What do we do?
Old Moses fell down on his knees there in the sand
Then the Lord said: Moses, trust in God
And all you gotta do is raise that rod
And over those mighty waters stretch out your hand
So Moses followed the Lord's command
And 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 walked on through
And Pharaoh's army thought they would too
And the waters fell, and they aint' 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
