Well, we all remember Moses on the banks of the river
He said Pharaoh, you've got to let my people go
You don't want me to have to tell you this ten times over
Denial ain't just a river, you know
And we all remember Pharaoh, he just wouldn't do it
So, the plagues they came upon Egypt one by one
His heart was hard and the other nine just couldn't move it
So, the last was the worst: the death of the firstborn son
But the Lord, he gave to Moses a word for the people
He said their firstborn sons would live to see another day
Put the blood of a lamb on the
Doorway and death will pass right over
That night all of the children of Israel prayed
And they prayed
Lord, let your judgment pass over us
Lord, let your love hover near
Don't let your sweet mercy pass over us
Let this blood cover over us here
♪
So, the years went by
And the people they whined, and they wandered
And only sacrifice atoned for the sins of the land
So, you see the priest he placed upon the holy altar
The body of a spotless lamb
And he prayed
Lord, let your judgment pass over us
Lord, let your love hover near
Don't let your sweet mercy pass over us
Let this blood cover over us here
