When we approach the Red Sea crossing
There’s no point in looking back…
Since we are finally delivered
Where we shall never lack.
The waters will be parted for us
As a miracle does take place;
When we surrender the Egypt in our heart
And new beginnings we’re to face.
Our familiar ways love Egypt
With the comforts that we share;
The variety and the colourful ways
With every type of fare.
There’s pleasures and enjoyment
With all the finest things,
And the very best of quality
Along with every pleasant way this brings.
There’s nothing sinful with all the above
But they can become idolatrous;
When we pursue them with all our heart
And neglect to put God first.
Egypt appears desirable
But our soul needs God’s pure touch;
To restore us and to make things new
Since He cares and loves us much.
When we part our ways
To see God’s wondrous hand,
He will make a way and pave our path
When we trust in His commands.
The chariots of Pharaoh
Were cast into the sea;
As the Israelites were delivered
When God did intercede.
When our will is exchanged
And we allow God to take the reigns,
He will steer us through our troubled waters
With a solid faith that remains.
When the bondage and our every oppression
Is released with every chain;
We once thought we were free but actually weren’t
But now God’s truth it will remain.
Egypt becomes a memory
With all excessive work and labor;
Our strivings and our philosophies
As we receive our Lord and Savior.
When the land of Egypt departs in us
And we proceed to the Promised Land,
Our soul shall never thirst or ever hunger
When we’re guided by God’s hand.
