[Andrew Peterson, Jess Ray - Passover Us lyrics]
Well, we all remember Moses on
The banks of the river he said "Pharaoh
You've got to let my people go
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 Pharaoh
He just wouldn't do it
So the plagues came upon Egypt one by one
His heart was hard and the other
Nine just couldn't move it
So the last was the worst
The death of the firstborn son
Oh, but thе Lord
He gave to Moses a word for thе people
He said their firstborn sons would
Live to see another day
"Put the blood of a lamb on the
Doorway and death will pass right over"
That night all of the
Children of Israel prayed
And they prayed "Lord
Let Your judgment Passover us
Lord, let Your love hover near
Don't let Your sweet mercy Passover us
Let this blood cover over us here"
So the years went by and the people
They whined and they wandered
And only sacrifice atoned for the
Sins of the land so you see, the priest
He placed upon the holy altar
The body of a spotless lamb
And he prayed "Lord
Let Your judgment Passover us
Lord, let Your love hover near
Don't let Your sweet mercy Passover us
Let this blood cover over us here
"Lord, let Your judgment (Let your judgement)
Passover us (Pass right over)
Lord, let Your love hover near (O oh)
Don't let Your sweet mercy
(Don't let Your mercy)
Passover us (Pass right over)
Let this blood cover over us
"Lord, let Your judgment (Let Your judgement)
Let it Passover us (Pass right over)
Lord, let Your love hover near (O oh)
And don't let Your sweet mercy
(Don't let Your mercy)
Passover us (Pass right over)
Let this blood cover over us here
Let this blood cover over us here
Let this blood cover over us here"
(Here, here, here)
