Lyrics

ONE FOOT IN EGYPT

VERSE
GO DOWN, MOSES
IT’S BEEN FOUR HUNDRED YEARS
GOD'S PEOPLE HELD IN BONDAGE
THEIR CRIES HAVE REACHED HIS EARS
REMIND THEM OF THE COVENANT
GOD MADE TO ABRAHAM
JEHOVAH WILL DELIVER THEM
RIGHT OUT OF PHARAOH’S HAND.

VERSE
OH, NO ISRAEL
TRAPPED AT THE WATER'S SHORE
YOU’D RATHER GO BACK TO SLAVERY
THAN WAIT AND TRUST THE LORD
BUT GOD'S MIGHTY HAND IS MOVING (OOOOOOHHH)
IN POWER HE'LL DO HIS PART.
STAND FIRM AND SEE SALVATION THEN
IN FAITH BEGIN TO MARCH.

CHORUS:
CAUSE IF YOU'RE EVER GONNA MAKE IT TO THE PROMISED LAND
YOU GOTTA LEAVE EGYPT BEHIND
PUTTIN’ YOUR FAITH IN A HOLY GOD
YOU CAN STEP OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE
CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING BACK THERE
THAT’LL EVER COMPARE
TO THE PARADISE GOD HAS PLANNED
NO YOU CAN'T KEEP ONE FOOT IN EGYPT
AND THE OTHER IN THE PROMISED LAND.

VERSE
HEY THERE CHRISTIAN
HAS YOUR FAITH TURNED INTO FEAR?
JESUS BROUGHT YOUR FREEDOM
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WANDERING IN THE DESERT (OOOOOOHHH)
HELD CAPTIVE TO YOUR SIN
HE DIDN'T COME JUST TO BRING YOU OUT (OOOH NO)
HE CAME TO BRING YOU IN


CHORUS
CAUSE IF YOU'RE EVER GONNA MAKE IT TO THE PROMISED LAND
YOU GOTTA LEAVE EGYPT BEHIND
PUTTIN’ YOUR FAITH IN A HOLY GOD
YOU CAN STEP OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE
CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING BACK THERE
THAT’LL EVER COMPARE
TO THE PARADISE GOD HAS PLANNED
NO YOU CAN'T KEEP ONE FOOT IN EGYPT
AND THE OTHER IN THE PROMISED LAND.

NEW CHORUS:
CAUSE’ IF YOU ARE EVER GONNA MAKE IT TO THE PROMISED LAND
YOU’VE GOTTA LEAVE IT BEHIND
OOOOOOH
STEP OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE-I-I=I-I-I-I-DE)
AAAAAAAH AHHHHH AH GOD HAS PLANNED
***SOLO***
(U) AND THE OTHER IN THE PROMISED LAND

TAG:
YOU CAN’T KEEP ONE FOOT IN EGYPT
ONE FOOT IN EGYPT (ROD: NOT ONE FOOT IN EGYPT)
ONE FOOT IN EGYPT
(U) AND THE OTHER IN THE PROMISED LAND
ONE FOOT IN EGYPT
NOT ONE FOOT N-EGYPT
