The Red Sea Parted

Dark waters lay before them
Dark forces came behind
To their left and right the desert
Brought panic to their minds
The evil of that hour
Was stronger than the sun
That beat on them
With nowhere left to run

The chariots of Egypt
Drew nearer as they cried
Yet Moses stood there calmly
With a fearless faith inside
He said there is a power
Far greater than the sword
Stand still and you will witnеss
A mighty salvation from our Lord

And then the Red Sеa parted
For now there was a way
To enter in rejoicing to victory that day
Yes, then the Red Sea parted
At last they could go free
With Pharaoh's army buried in the sea

Temptation came beside me
And it told its finest lies
Making all the darker pleasures
So pleasant to my eyes
I knew a lack of praying
Had led me to that hour
Standing there
Surrounded by sin's power

Yet the terror of those moments
Began to fade away
As my heart recalled God's mercies
Are all new every day
And my spirit took its armor
As my lips took up the sword
Light broke through the darkness
A mighty salvation from our Lord

And then my Red Sea parted
And now there was a way
To enter in rejoicing to victory that day
Yes, then my Red Sea parted
At last I could go free
Like a child of Israel at my own Red Sea

And then my Red Sea parted
And now there was a way
To enter in rejoicing to victory that day
Yes, then my Red Sea parted
At last I could go free
Like a child of Israel at my own Red Sea
