[Verse 1] Moses saw an Egyptian strike a brother in the sand, He killed the man and hid him, then fled Pharaoh's searching hand. Midian gave a well, a wife, a child, and years away, While Israel groaned in bondage and the covenant heard their pain. [Pre-Chorus] On Horeb with the sheep alone, A bush held fire but kept its form. [Chorus] Fire that would not burn away, Holy ground beneath his feet that day. The God of Abraham had seen the slaves and heard their cry, And sent a hesitant shepherd back to stand before the throne. [Verse 2] Moses hid his face as the voice called out his name, The LORD revealed "I AM" and spoke of freedom from the chains. A rod became a serpent, a hand turned white then whole, Yet Moses feared his speaking and resisted still the call. [Bridge] Aaron would become the mouth, the rod would bear the sign, The elders would be gathered, Pharaoh would refuse in pride. Egypt would be struck at last and Israel leave with spoil, For the God who spoke from flame had come to claim His people. [Final Chorus] Fire that would not burn away, Holy ground beneath his feet that day. The God who heard the groaning had remembered every name, And sent the exiled shepherd back through Egypt's gate. [Outro] He took the rod of God, And turned his face toward Egypt.
