"By His Hand Alone"

The river bled and Egypt's thirst went dry.
Cattle fell, yet in Goshen not a sound.
Brought in and sheltered from the stone-cold ground.
Framed by unseen hand beneath an angry sky.

Darkness touched and pressed Egypt to the floor.
The river turned to blood along its track.
Pharaoh's heart like stone would not give Israel back.
At night a nation's pride breaks even more.

Doors marked by blood so death may pass you by.
The angel trampled over Egypt's ground.
Israel's doors passed over without sound.
A pillar rose to guide beneath the sky.

So Israel rose and left their chains behind.
Led out by God, the promised land to find.
