2. More and MightierExodus 1:7-10

The Pharaoh of Egypt said of Israel They are more and mightier than we!

Deal wisely with them lest they multiply.

They are more and mightier than we.

If it comes to pass that there is a war,

They will join our enemies and fight us sore.

Set the task * mas * ters over them.

They are more and mightier than we.

But the more afflicted – the more they grew,

Multiplying, increasing, fruitful too.

And the land * was * filled with them –

They are more and mightier than we! ** And the land * was * filled with them –

They are more and mightier than we! **

(Can be sung to: To The Bravest)


3. Four Hundred YearsExodus 1:11-14

Four hundred years!

Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years! Bitter bondage, building treasure cities,

Pithom and Ramses.

Four hundred years!

Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years! Hot sun, hot fields, making brincks and mortar

Made to serve with rigor (bom bom bom)

Four hundred years! Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years!

Cruel taskmasters, forcing us to labor

O Lord, send us a savior! O Lord, send us a savior!

Send a savior, send a savior, Send a savior, send a savior, SEND ONE NOOOW!!!

(Can be sung to: March Slav)


4 The Midwives Feared JehovahExodus 1:15-21

To the midwives of the Hebrews

Pharaoh gave this command:

If it is a son, do away with him;

If a daughter, she shall live then.

But, the midwives feared Jehovah–

And did not as Pharaoh bid!

Therefore God dealt well with the midwives,

And the Hebrews multiplied.

For the midwives feared Jehovah– And did not as Pharaoh bid!


5. God is Watching Over YouExodus 2:1-2 (Lullaby for Baby Moses)

Little baby, go to sleep;

Don’t you cry - don’t you weep.

God is watching over you.

He loves you and I do, too.

God is watching over you;

Where you go and how you do;

He loves you and I do, too;

God is watching over you!


6. Oh, Lord! Care for My BrotherExodus 2:3-10(Miriam’s Song)

1. I’m hiding here among tall reeds,

I’m watching o’er my brother.

Safe in an ark of pitch and weed

Prepared by my dear mother.

I want to see what happens now;

He’s precious to my family,

I’ll do my best, I’m standing guard;

I’m watching him so caref’ly

Chorus: (sing twice)

O----Oh round and round and up and down

The ark floats on the river.

When Pharaoh’s daughter comes to bathe,

We hope — she’ll him deliver!


7. We’ll Call Him MosesExodus 2:3-10(Pharaoh’s Daughter’s Song)

Chorus: Oh, look! There, in the water.

Bring that basket to me! Oh! It’s a son of the Hebrews.

Don’t cry, little baby!

I want to keep him and love him.

He will be a dear son to me!

Verse:

This little girl can find a nurse To feed the baby for me.

Yes, she’ll get wages from my purse,

I’ll gladly pay a good fee.

Now take this babe and care for him, Just like a real mother;

And little girl, do love him, too;

Like he’s your baby brother!


8. You Must Ne’er ForgetExodus 2:9

(Jocabed’s Song to Moses)

You must ne’er forget

That God has chosen you,

A goodly Hebrew child.

You are of the line of Abraham, The father of the called out ones.

God has promised us the land of Canaan,

Here in Egypt’s not our home.

Let your heart so yearn;

Someday you’ll return To the land that God has given us!


9. Educated in Egyptian WaysExodus 2:9-10; Acts 7:22

Chorus:

Educated in Egyptian ways; Mighty in the wisdom of those days;

Powerful in word and deed;

He was trained to meet God’s need.

1. Moses learned to read and spell

And he did his lessons well.

He was diligent to do

All that his teachers said.

2. Moses studied math and science, He became so self-reliant;

Learned about all of the planets

And to move big stones!


10. I’d Rather Be with the People of God

Hebrews 11:25

Part 1

I’d rather be with the people of God,

Than enjoy the pleasures of sin. **



Chorus:

I’d rather be with the people of God —

Hebrews eleven: twenty-five! I’d rather be with the people of God,


Part 2 (sing slow)

I’d rather be with the people of God! ** I’d rather be with the people of God! **

I’d rather be with the people of God! **

Hebrews eleven twenty-five

I’d rather be with the people of God! **

Part 1 for younger children:


Be with the people of God! **

(Can be sung to: The Peanut Song)

Look at this: a burning bush!

Burning, not consumed!

Holy ground - put off your shoes!

Holy ground - put off your shoes!

At the burning bush!

I’m the God of Abraham,

I’m the God of Isaac, I’m the God of Jacob too,

In the burning bush!


13. I Am that I Am

Exodus 3:11-15

“The cry of Israel came to me;

Come, Moses, thee I will send.

You now must speak unto Pharaoh,

He must my people let go.” “Who am I that you should send me?”

God said, “I will be with thee.”

“And when I speak to the Hebrews,

Whom shall I say has sent me?”

“I AM THAT I AM,

I AM THAT I AM,

Tell them I’ve sent thee,

My name is I AM. The God of Abraham,

Isaac, and Jacob ---

I AM for all generations,

This my memorial.”

(Can be sung to: Andalucia)

With a mighty hand, oh, see what I will do,

Do unto Pharaoh with a mighty hand, Yes, he will let you go.

I am Jehovah, the all-sufficient God,

And I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, I’m the all-sufficient God.

3. I have made a promise to give to you the land.

I have made a promise to give to you the land; And I have heard your groanings and remembered

My covenant with you.

4. Out from under your burdens and your bondage, too; Out from under your burdens and your bondage, too;

With outstretched arm, and great acts of judgment,

I’ll redeem and deliver you.

5. You will be My people and I will be your God; You will be My people and I will be your God,

And you shall know that I am Jehovah,

The all-sufficient God.


15. Our God Doesn’t Give UpExodus 5-10

Our God doesn’t give up;

Moses didn’t give up; O’er and o’er and o’er again

He went to Pharaoh and said to him:

Let My people go! This you have to know,

They must hold a feast to me,

For this they must be free!

17. Time for DepartureExodus 7-10

Time for departure, Pharaoh said NO!

Plagues came to Egypt – ten in a row. God gave instructions, what they should do;

Those who obeyed Him, He brought them through!

(Chorus)

When I see the blood, When I see the blood,

When I see the blood,

I will pass, I will pass over you!

Stay in your house, put blood on the posts;

Inside be feasting - lamb you will roast;

Shoes on your feet – and staff in your hands -

Be ready! You’re leaving at my command!


18. Strike the BloodExodus 12:11

Strike the blood on the door!

Roasted lamb we will eat With bitter herbs and unleavened bread.

Gird your loins about,

Put your shoes on your feet,

Then take your staff in hand

For the Passover!

(Chorus) When we get to the land

The Lord God has giv’n, We’ll keep this memorial forever.

Year after year our children will hear

The story of Jehovah’s Passover.

Year after year our children will hear The story of Jehovah’s Passover.


19. It Was At Midnight

1. It was at midnight there was a cry, and all Egyptians wondered why, The judgment fell on every home, passed over the Hebrews alone. It was on that dark and fearful night that Pharaoh finally gave up the fight, “Get your flocks and your herds and go! Be gone! Be gone! Bless me also!”

2. Gathered all the armies of the Lord, six hundred thousand men, plus more, Left from Egypt together on that day; multitudes were on their way. And Jehovah went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, And my night in a pillar of fire so bright; they could go by day or night.

3. When Pharaoh heard that they were gone, he said, “What have we done?” Sent six hundred chosen chariots chasing them, with many mighty marching men. So finally they reached the place where Israel camped down by the sea; Then Israel cried unto the Lord! They were scared as they could be. 4. Then Moses said, “Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord! The Egyptians whom you see today, you will not see anymore.” God said, “Move forward now, Moses, lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand; I will fight for you, I’ll be glorified.” Then on, to the promised land.

5. Then all night long a strong wind blew, God caused the sea to split in two; Then Israel passed through on dry ground, with waters walled up all around. All Egypt’s camp was in confusion, their chariots swerved around. Moses stretched his hand out o’er the sea: all the water came falling down.

6. Not even one of them was left, and when the Israelites saw The power which God had manifest, they believed and were filled with awe. They believed in God who fought for them, and saved all Israel that day; And Moses, too, they then believed, whom God chose to lead the way.


20. Let Us Sing Unto the Lord Exodus 15:1-2

We’re the people who were slaves

Down in Egypt’s land.

Crying to God: oh, deliver us!

So the God of the Hebrews

Rescued us from Pharaoh’s hand.

Glory to God, Hallelujah!

Let us sing unto the Lord

For His mighty victory!

For the horse and his rider

God has cast into the sea!

Now we’re on the other side

Set for Canaan now, we’re free --

Glory to God, Hallelujah!


21. Finally! Finally! Exodus 1-15

The Israelites were prisoners trapped in Egypt.

Oh let them go to hold a feast! God planned to get them out by sending Moses.

Oh let them go to hold a feast!

But when the Pharaoh heard that they were leaving,

Don’t let them go to hold a feast!

His hardened heart said, “No, I need them working.” Don’t let them go to hold a feast!

Finally, finally, many plagues had passed.

Finally, finally, they were free at last! To hold a feast, to hold a feast

To hold a feast unto their God!

Hallelujah freed!

And now they’re feasting with their God!


22. Oh, We Will Feast

Oh, we will feast and fellowship!

Oh, we will feast and fellowship.

Thank You, Lord, we’re out of Egypt,

So we can feast and fellowship.

Oh, we will feast and fellowship!

Oh, we will feast and fellowship.

Take us onward in to Canaan,

As we feast and fellowship.


23. Theme Song - Moses Vol. 1 Moses, deliverer, was born as a slave

In Egypt, but God saved him,

Made him a prince, then Forty years of tending sheep,

Of all on earth, then man most humble,

God could finally use him!

So Moses and Aaron

Spoke God’s Word to Pharaoh. Plagues came to force him

To let the Hebrews go!

And when God sent the east wind blowing,

Moses and the millions marching Passed through on dry ground!
