Born in Egypt, hidden in a basket
Pharaoh's daughter found him by the river
Grew up in the palace, but knew he was different
Saw his people suffer, couldn't stay silent
Moses, the man God chose
Led the people out, as the story goes
Through the Red Sea, to the Promised Land
With a staff in his hand, and God's command
Ran away to Midian, became a shepherd
Saw a burning bush, heard God's voice
"Go back to Egypt, tell Pharaoh let them go"
Ten plagues came, before he'd say so
Moses, the man God chose
Led the people out, as the story goes
Through the Red Sea, to the Promised Land
With a staff in his hand, and God's command
In the desert, people often complained
But Moses talked to God, kept them sustained
Made a golden calf, when he was on the mountain
Moses broke the tablets, in his disappointment
Moses, the man God chose
Led the people out, as the story goes
Through the Red Sea, to the Promised Land
With a staff in his hand, and God's command
Sent out spies to check the Promised Land
Only two came back with faith in God's plan
Moses hit the rock when he should have spoken
For this one act, his entry was broken
Moses, the man God chose
Led the people out, as the story goes
Through the Red Sea, to the Promised Land
With a staff in his hand, and God's command
On Mount Nebo, Moses saw the land
God showed him all, but he couldn't enter
Died there on the mountain, at one hundred twenty
No one knows where he's buried, it's a mystery
Forty years in the desert, following a cloud
Got the Ten Commandments, on a mountain high
Water from a rock, manna from the sky
Moses led them on, until the day he died
Moses, the man God chose
Led the people out, as the story goes
Through the Red Sea, to the Promised Land
With a staff in his hand, and God's command
Never reached Canaan, but saw it from afar
Moses, the prophet, who brought them this far
