Performance by the Ann Arbor Youth Chorale, posted on YouTube.
Moses led his people out of Egypt land
Moses led his people an unarmed helpless band
God led their way in a cloud by day
In a pillar of fire at night
Moses led his people
It was quite a sight
Moses led his people, Pharaoh set them free
Moses led his people straight to the Red Sea
But Pharaoh's army was chasin' them
Pharaoh had a long, long ride
When he finally caught them
They had no place to hide
The people shook with fear when they saw Pharaoh near
But Moses wasn't worried
He lifted up his hand and watched the Red Sea stand
And across the dry land they hurried
Moses led his people to the other side
Pharaoh tried to follow, he never should have tried
For God told Moses "Stretch out your hand"
And the waves began to pound
God delivered his people
And Pharaoh's army drowned
Moses led his people out of Egypt land
Moses led his people, he followed God's command
God led their way in a cloud by day
In a pillar of fire at night
Moses led his people
out of slavery
Moses led his people
God set them free
