Verso 1

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

Verso 2

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

Verso 3

From the burning bush
God called a man
Who had fled 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

Refrão 1

Pharaoh let My people go
Pharaoh let My people go

Verso 4

I'm sending these plagues
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

Verso 5

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 first-born die
The Pharaoh cries saying
Moses take Israel and go

Verso 6

And when we first left Egypt
We thought victory was won
Little did we know
That Pharaoh was not done
But with Pharaoh's army behind
And the Red Sea before
Moses lifted up his rod
And he called
On 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

Refrão 2

I've been delivered
I've been set free
The horse and the rider
Drowned in the Red Sea
God broke the chains
Of captivity
Hallelujah I've been delivered
I've been set free

Verso 7

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 and singing
And dancing for joy
For 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

Refrão 2

I've been delivered
I've been set free
The horse and the rider
Drowned in the Red Sea
God broke the chains
Of captivity
Hallelujah I've been delivered
I've been set free

Ponte

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

Verso 8

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

Refrão 2

I've been delivered
I've been set free
The horse and the rider
Drowned in the Red Sea
God broke the chains
Of captivity
Hallelujah I've been delivered
I've been set

Refrão 2

I've been delivered
I've been set free
The horse and the rider
Drowned in the Red Sea
God broke the chains
Of captivity
Hallelujah I've been delivered
I've been set free
