Led Out Of Bondage Lyrics - 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 want the way to get out 

'Cause in his mind he's beginning to doubt 

And he said, "Lord, old Pharaoh, he 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 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 

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 

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'' 

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 

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 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 

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
