Well we all remember Moses on the banks of the river
G               C                             G                             C

Em                                           F                             C
You don’t want me to have to tell you this ten times over-

Denial ain’t just a river you know”

And we all remember Pharoh, he just wouldn’t do it

So the plagues came upon Egypt one by one
Em                                           F                                                         C
His heart was hard and the other nine just couldn’t move it

Said their firstborn sons would live to see another day
Em                                           F                             C
“Put the blood of a lamb on the doorway and death will pass right over”
C                                           D                             G               D
That night all of the children of Israel prayed. and they prayed

Lord let your love hover near
