[Verse 1] One final plague was spoken in the courts of Egypt's king, At midnight every firstborn would be struck in everything. A new beginning marked the month when every house would choose, An unblemished lamb and blood that death was not allowed to cross. [Pre-Chorus] Roasted flesh and bitter herbs, Sandals fastened, staffs in hand. [Chorus] Blood upon the door, stay inside till morning, Death would pass the marked house by. Eat in haste, remember this deliverance, The night of Egypt's cry became the night that Israel rose. [Verse 2] Hyssop touched the lintel and the families bowed in faith, Children would be taught the meaning through the feasts of future days. Then midnight broke the silence, palace, prison, stall all mourned, No Egyptian house escaped the grief that Pharaoh's pride had born. [Bridge] The king called Moses in the dark and ordered them away, The people pressed them forward with unleavened dough to take. Silver, gold, and garments came from neighbors who had seen, And the slaves walked out of bondage as a purchased people free. [Final Chorus] Blood upon the door, stay inside till morning, Death would pass the marked house by. Eat in haste, remember this deliverance, The night of Egypt's cry became the night that Israel rose. [Outro] A lamb, a sign, a midnight road, And freedom waiting at the door.
