Led Out Of Bondage - The Statler Brothers

God promised to lead His children out of bondage

He said He’d free them from Pharaoh’s evil hand

He said He’d guide and protect them on their journey

And lead them to the promised land

God’s children were slaves in Egypt land

So God took Moses by the hand

He said, «Moses, tell old Pharaoh to set 'em free»

But Moses wanted a way to get out

'Cause in his mind he was beginning to doubt

And he said, «Lord, old Pharaoh ain’t gonna listen to me»

Now the Lord said, «Son, throw down that rod"'

Old Moses did and he cried to God

Because it turned to a snake, as wicked and evil as sin

Then he cried again with an awful wail

For the Lord said, «Seize it by the tail»

Old Moses did and it turned to a rod again

Now, the Lord said, «Moses, I’ve got power

And I’ll be with you every hour»

Said, «Go tell Pharaoh to set my children free»

Well, Moses did, the Lord helped out

He sent the plagues to the land about

So old Pharaoh told him to go and let him be

So they started out with a cloud that day

And a fire by night would lead the way

'Til old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind

So he gathered together his soldier band

Got all the chariots throughout the land

Said, «I'll let them Israelites go some other time»
