Lyrics

Verse 1
Israel was a slave in Egypt
For four hundred years.
God saw their affliction and the burdens they carried
Their cries reached His ear.
God said, “I will go down and deliver them;
For they are my own.
I will go down and deliver them;
I will not leave them alone.”

Verse 2
God spoke to Moses and sent him to Pharoah,
The ruler of the land.
God was with Moses who did signs and wonders
With the staff in his hand.
God said, “Let my people go,
For they belong to me.
If you do not listen,
My wrath you will see.”

Verse 3
Life grew harder, Israel cried in distress
They did not understand
That even Pharoah’s hardness of heart
God would use for good in His plan.
God saved His people from all of their troubles;
He did not leave them alone.
He led them safely to the land He had promised
For God takes care of His own.

Verse 4
God said to me, “I see your affliction
And I hear your cries.
I know your struggles, and I know you are hurting
Though you don’t understand why.
I will deliver you,
For you are My own.
I will deliver you;
I will not leave you alone.”

Ending:
God will deliver me, for I am His own.
God will deliver me; He will not leave me alone.
Repeat ending.
