Lyrics The Red Sea Parted - Scott Wesley Brown

The Red Sea Parted
Album: Somebody's Brother

Dark waters lay before them
Dark forces came behind
To their left and right the desert
Brought panic to their minds
The evil of that hour was stronger than the sun
That beat on them with nowhere left to run
The chariots of Egypt drew nearer as they cried
Yet Moses stood there calmly with a fearless faith inside
He said there is a power far greater than the sword
Stand still and you will witness a
Mighty salvation from our Lord

And then the Red Sea parted
For now there was a way
To enter in rejoicing to victory that day
Yes, then the Red Sea parted
At last they could go free
With Pharaoh's army buried in the sea.

Temptation came beside me and it told its finest lies
Making all the darker pleasures so pleasant to my eyes
I knew a lack of praying had led me to that hour
Standing there surrounded by sin's power
Yet the terror of those moments began to fade away
As my heart recalled God's mercies are all new every day
And my spirit took its armor as my lips took up the sword
Light broke through the darkness, a mighty salvation from our Lord

II
And then my Red Sea parted
And now there is a way
To enter in rejoicing to victory that day
Yes, then my Red Sea parted
At last I could go free
Like a child of Israel at my own Red Sea
