[Intro] G [Chorus]
G               C                        G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage

             A7                            D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand

             C                               G
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey

              A7     D7       G
And lead them to the promised land
[Verse 1]
   G
God's children were slaves in Egypt land

   C
So God took Moses by the hand

        G                                 D7
He said Moses tell old Pharaoh to set 'em free

    G
But Moses wanted a way to get out

        C
Because in his mind he's beginning to doubt

            G                D7                         G
And he said Lord old Pharaoh he ain't a gonna listen to me
[Verse 2]
    G
Well the Lord said son throw down that rod

    C
Old Moses did and he cried to God

   G                                       D7
It turned to a snake as evil and wicked as sin

     G
Then he cried again with an awful wail

        C
And the Lord said seize him by the tail

    G                D7              G
Old Moses did and it turned to a rod again
[Chorus]
G               C                        G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage

             A7                            D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand

             C                               G

              A7     D7       G
And lead them to the promised land
[Verse 3]
       G
The Lord said Moses I've got power

    C
And I'll be with you every hour

        G                               D7
Said go tell Pharaoh to set my children free

     G
Well Moses did but the Lord helped out

   C
He sent a plague to the land about

       G                   D7                   G
So old Pharaoh told him he could go and let him be
[Verse 4]
      G
They started out with a cloud that day

      C
And a fire by night to lead the way

        G                                      D7
But old Pharaoh suddenly decided to change his mind

        G
Well he gathered together his soldier band

    C
Got all them chariots throughout the land

     G                           D7         G
Said I'll let them Israelites go some other time
[Chorus]
G               C                        G
God promised to lead His children out of bondage

             A7                            D7
He said He'd free them from Pharaoh's evil hand

             C                               G

              A7     D7       G
And lead them to the promised land
[Verse 5]
      G
Well they came to the banks of the ocean blue

     C
They turned to Moses said what would we do

    G                                        D7
And Moses fell on his knees and there in the sand

    G
The Lord said Moses trust in God

    C
All you gotta do is just raise that rod

     G                   D7           G
Over these mighty waters stretch your hand
[Verse 6]
      G
Well Moses followed the Lord's command

    C
The waters parted and there in the sand

     G                                D7
They saw a path that led to the other shore

    G
The ground was dry they passed on through

    C
And old Pharaoh's army thought they would too

        G                      D7                 G
But the waters fell they ain't never been seen no more

             C                               G
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey

              A7     D7       G
And lead them to the promised land

              A7     D7       G
