Brick by brick beneath the crown A child was lifted from the Nile Fire burned but would not die Moses heard the holy name River red and daylight gone Blood marked every door before the dawn Out of Egypt, out of chains By the cloud and fire Through the wind, across the sea The Lord went before us Frogs and hail, the locust sky Midnight grief in each house Sandals tied, we left in haste While Egypt faded in the night Bread at dawn and water flowed Hands were raised while Joshua fought Sinai shook beneath the clouds Stone received the words of God Gold was raised, the tablets fell Still the Lord renewed his word Wood and linen, bronze and flame Then the glory filled the tent Out of Egypt, out of chains Not by strength or power From the house of slavery The Lord went before us
