Through our God we shall do valiantly It is He who takes down our enemies We gon' sing and shout the victory Cuz He brought His people 'cross the people God has won the victory And God has set His people free And His word brought down the enemy Brought His people 'cross the people Sending me through the wilderness Gotta get rid of wickedness Rid me of any contraband We on the way to the promised land Fire by night, cloud by day Fire by night, cloud by day God with us, He's the light that will lead the way, yeah He gon' lead the way We truly thought that the Lord forgot us So we forgot His promise to the forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob heard it After Joseph we multiplied, but so did Pharaoh's curses Along came Moses, preaching a message of freedom Same day our burdens doubled, Egypt oppressing the people But he said God would deliver us From this bitterness, this is our exodus Fast forward to the last plague Blood shed on the doorpost, unblemished lamb stain Now we've been set free, finally don't have chains Don't waste no time to head out on this campaign Bitter herbs and unleavened bread Symbolic of the affliction during our residence But it seemed that we were trapped by the enemy Now we're between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea Sending me through the wilderness Gotta get rid of wickedness Rid me of any contraband We on the way to the promised land Fire by night, cloud by day Fire by night, cloud by day God with us, He's the light that will lead the way, yeah He gon' lead the way I will sing to the Lord who triumphed gloriously Both horse and it's rider He has thrown in the sea The Lord is my strength and my song The Lord has become my salvation This is my God and I will praise Him My father's God, I will exalt Him The Lord is a man of war Praise be to the name of the Lord I can't believe how it happened, we are all shocked Clouds and darkness behind us kept the army stalled Moses stretched out his hand, divided the water's walls Went between them on dry ground, we all crossed Looking back it seemed just like a dream Had so many regrets, now we truly are free Pharaoh's army was thrown into a panic They tried to retreat, but the waters came down crashing From the shore, we sang songs of victory Next stop where the Lord made bitter water sweet Still we grumbled and complained about every single thing While we were hungry, manna from heaven begins to rain Day and night, night and day we never lacked provisions Commandments we had to obey, but there was still division God had a plan to take us to the land that flows with abundance In spite of our reluctance, the Lord remained triumphant Sending me through the wilderness Gotta get rid of wickedness Rid me of any contraband We on the way to the promised land Fire by night, cloud by day Fire by night, cloud by day God with us, He's the light that will lead the way, yeah He gon' lead the way I will sing to the Lord who triumphed gloriously Both horse and it's rider He has thrown in the sea The Lord is my strength and my song The Lord has become my salvation This is my God and I will praise Him My father's God, I will exalt Him The Lord is a man of war Praise be to the name of the Lord
