Passing Over
A journey to freedom starts with a tiny spark. Blues song.
Way down in Egypt land
Hebrew hearts hurt and filled with sand.
Little baby everybody would know
princess grabbed him out the river by his toes.
Grew up learned all the ways of the land
soon he came to understand.
Felt the pain and tears of strife
heard the cries for a brand new life.
Moses sang with his tribe’s Hebrew soul:
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Big boss man Pharoh wouldn’t hear
turned his face away from their tears.
Brought trouble he couldn’t understand
from a force from beyond the power of his hand.
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Soon Egypt and Pharoh felt the strain
Hebrew plan had freedom to gain.
Marched out across the desert to find a new home
Bright light of hope leading faith in a new zone.
Pharoh’s heart couldn’t stand to see them go.
Pride followed so he hunted the Hebrew’s roll.
Big boss man Pharoh failed in his quest.
Hebrew nation followed their path, stood up to the test.
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
If you find yourself caught up in hurt and pain
down a hole with no way to escape.
Grab some hope and find a nip of faith,
just a glimpse can make the whole world a brand new place.
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
