We cried beneath the weight of Egypt We called from the

dust and heaven heard Fire rose in the wilderness

And the sea would remember his name

Mothers wept by the river reeds Fathers bowed low under Pharaoh's

decree But buried beneath the cry and the chain The God

of our Father still heard our pain Out in loyalliness Fire

touched the thorn A voice called from the flame I have

seen, I have heard You heard us In the field of

sorrow You mocked us In the night with blood, you called

us out. Through fear and thunder, no king could hold what

you had loved. Sea of terror, open wide, fire of heaven.

Lead us on, you brought us out. With a mighty hand

and would not leave us on our own.

Staff in the hand and a word in

the mouth Moses stood where the proud bowed down Now ran

red and the daylight broke Locust in darkness, hell and smoke

Still Pharaoh hardened like hammered stone Still judgment walked through

a rebel throne Till Lamb's blood shone on the wooden frame

God bless you.

In the field of sorrow, you marked us. In the night

with blood, you called us out. Through fear and thunder, no

king could hold what you had loved. Sea of terror, open

wide, fire of heaven. Lead us on, you brought us out.

With a mighty hand and would not leave us on our

own. Walls of water

at either side Your breath made a road where the slaves

could walk dry Horse and chariot, wheel and spear All of

Egypt drowned in fear Then tambourines rang on the far shore

sand But freedom shook in our trembling hands For hunger and

thirst still found to squeak And the mountain burned when you

came to speak Thunder on Sinai, law in the flame Glory

to holy for idols made Gold in the fire, shame in

the kept Mercy still moved when the covenant cracked Show us

your glory, teach us your way

You heard us in

the field of sorrow You marked us in the night with

blood You led us through the sea of judgment No king

could steal what you had loved Mountain burning, cloud by day

Holy fire when night had come You brought us out to

bring us near And made you dwelling with the ones you

loved

Not only rescue, not only release

But the God of holy fire Choosing still to

dwell in peace Cloud above us,

glory near

exodus of blood and sea

The Lord has come to dwell

with the redeemed

Mmm.

Oh.
