Lyrics

The Children of Israel were on the run,
Out of bondage in Egypt they had come.
Moses led them down to the sea,
To free his people from slavery,
To free his people from slavery.

"Please help us Moses we are afraid,
Pharaoh is coming to take us away.
We have no swords we have no shields,
Please save us Moses from the chariot's wheel,
Please save us Moses from the chariot's wheel"

Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,

"Now my people please listen well,
Fear not stand still,
Your salvation is from the Lord,
And Pharaohs' army will be no more,
And Pharaohs' army will be no more."

Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,

Pillar of fire stood guard behind,
As they walked on dry ground to the other side.
The roaring waters where held at bay,
God's mighty word the sea obeyed,
God's mighty word the sea obeyed.

Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,

God told Moses "stretch out thy hand"
And the sea flowed back across the land.
The tribes of Israel were safe on shore,
And Pharaohs' army was seen no more,
And pharaohs' army was seen no more.

Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,

Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
Between the sword and the water between the army and the sea,
Fear not let God protect you stand still and be at peace,
