Exodus
[Verse 1 - Tightening] Sea at their front and the chariots behind, Dust from six hundred rose into the wind. Israel cried that the graves had been few; Moses stood firm where no pathway was viewed. "Fear not, stand still, see deliverance today." The cloud moved backward and darkness held sway. [Build] Staff over water. East wind all night. Deep split asunder. Dry ground in sight. [Chorus] A way through the sea where no way had been, Walls of the water and Israel between. Step after step through the heart of the deep, The Lord made a road for the people to keep. A way through the sea, and the dawn coming fast; The slave walked forward, the chariot came last. [Verse 2] Egypt pursued into ground that was dry, Wheels turned against them as morning drew nigh. Moses stretched outward; the waters returned, Horseman and captain beneath them were churned. Not one of the army escaped to the shore; Israel saw Egypt oppress them no more. [Song of the Shore] Sing to the Lord, for His triumph is high; Horse and his rider are cast in the tide. Miriam answered with timbrel and dance; Women sang freedom where waves broke the lance. [Final Chorus] A way through the sea where no way had been, Death at their heels and salvation within. The shore held a nation, astonished and free; The Lord made a road through the heart of the sea.
