Led Out Of Bondage Lyrics & Chords
By R.L. Prather | Statler Brothers
Chorus (G)God promised to (C)lead his children out of (G)bondage He said He'd (A)free them from Pharaoh's evil (D)hand He said He'd (C)guide and protect them on their (G)journey And lead them (A)to the (D)promised (G)land. (G)God's children were slaves in Egypt land So (C)God took Moses by the hand He said, (G)''Moses, Tell old Pharaoh to set 'em (D)free.'' But (G)Moses wanted wanted a way to get out Because (C)in his mind he's beginning to doubt And he said, (G)''Lord, old Pharaoh, (D)He ain't a-gonna listen to (G)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 evil and wicked as sin Then he cried again with an awful wail And the Lord said, ''Seize him by the tail.'' Old Moses did and it turned to a rod again. Well, 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 but the Lord helped out He sent a plague to the land about So old Pharaoh told him he could go, And let him be. Well, they started out with a cloud that day And a fire by night to lead the way But old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind. So he gathered together his soldier band Got all them chariots throughout the land Said, ''I'll let them Israelites go some other time.'' Well, they came to the banks of the old Red Sea Turned to Moses and started to plea And Moses fell on his knees, and there in the sand The Lord said, ''Moses, trust in God 'Cause all's you gotta do is just raise that rod And over these mighty waters stretch your hand.'' Well, Moses followed the Lord's command The waters parted and there in the sand They saw a path that led to the other shore Well, the ground was dry and they passed on through And old Pharaoh's army thought they would too. But the waters fell, they ain't never been seen no more.
