[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
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey
              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
He said He'd guide and protect them on their journey
              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

[Outro]
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
              A7     D7       G
And lead them to the promised land
