With A Mighty Hand (Album Version) Lyrics

I'm gonna tell you a story

It's about a Hebrew named Moses with a speech impediment

And an Egyptian Pharoah with an iron fist

It's about a burning bush

And how that bush that talked to Moses

Is a wonderful God that set Moses' people free

The Lord heard the cries of the slaves of Egypt

He told Moses to tell Pharoah to free them

But Moses said how can I speak to these people?

The Lord said to Moses I will be with you

I will bring them into a good and spacious land

A land flowing with milk and honey

So Moses went to that old pharoah

And on that day God had a plan

With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm

He struck the Egyptians with all his wonders

And with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm

He set his people free

And the Pharoah wouldn't listen you see

And so the next thing the Lord did

He struck down Egypt with plague after plague

But the Pharoah had hardened his heart

The Lord turned water to blood

Then he sent animals, insects, and hail

Struck down livestock with a pestilence

And brought darkness down upon the land

And that still wasn't enough you see

So what did the Lord do next?

He struck down every first born boy and girl

Except for those with the blood of a lamb

Now here's how the story ends

Pharoah let the Hebrews go

But then the Pharoah changed his mind. Oh no!

So he went after them all, but God sent a pillar of fire

And split the sea in two

And now that the Hebrews were free

They were on their way to the promised land

Oh yeah
