THEY'VE GOT TO BE FREE
Author(s): Adar
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Endtime,

What my eyes behold this thing that I see,
A bush burning with fire not touched by the flame,
The voice of God within it cries out to me,
"I Am that I Am" is my name

Who will lead my people out of Egypt land?
Out of cruel bondage, out of Pharaoh hand,
And into the land of milk and honey, into the Promised Land

Chorus:
'Cause they got to be free...

They've got to be free,
They've got to be free,
They've got to be free

Moses go to Egypt' land, go and speak to Pharaoh,
Give him the warning, thus saith the Lord, "Let My people go,"
And I will bear them on eagle's wings and out of Egypt shall they go

[Repeat Chorus]

Plagues of famine, lice and blood to change the heart of Pharaoh,
Hail and fire sent from above, still he would not let them go,
All the idols of Egypt plundered, making all the world to know

[Repeat Chorus]

Moses' cry was finally heeded, Pharaoh let the people go,
In his anger he besieged them, Pharaoh sends his army forth,
Moses prays for God to free them, standing at the Red Sea shore

[Repeat Chorus]

Six million people of the Hebrew nation, wandering through the desert sands,
Looking for the promises God gave Abraham,
Passing through the wilderness, being fed by God's own hand

[Repeat Chorus]
