(Spoken)
When the enemy said, “Let every Hebrew boy die,”
God had already prepared a way.
What looked like a little basket on the river
was carrying a great destiny.
Hallelujah!
(Verse 1)
Born in Egypt under Pharaoh’s command,
A little Hebrew child was placed in God’s hand.
His mother made a basket, covered it with care,
And placed him on the river, trusting God was there.
Among the reeds he floated, protected by the Lord,
Though danger surrounded him, God watched over Moses.
Among the reeds he floated, protected by the Lord,
Though danger surrounded him, God watched over Moses.
(Chorus)
God will preserve what He has ordained,
No enemy can destroy what You have planned.
Through the river, through the storm, You will lead me on,
What You have started, Lord, You will carry on.
(Verse 2)
Pharaoh’s daughter came down to the river,
And saw the little child among the reeds.
She opened up the basket and found him crying,
Her heart was moved with compassion inside.
She took him as her own and gave him a name,
Moses was rescued by the hand of God.
She took him as her own and gave him a name,
Moses was rescued by the hand of God.
(Chorus)
God will preserve what He has ordained,
No enemy can destroy what You have planned.
Through the river, through the storm, You will lead me on,
What You have started, Lord, You will carry on.
(Verse 3)
He grew in Pharaoh’s house, he learned and was trained,
But God had a greater purpose for his life.
From the palace to the wilderness,
God was preparing His servant for the call.
Years went by, but the promise remained,
The God of Abraham was calling his name.
Years went by, but the promise remained,
The God of Abraham was calling his name.

Who kept Moses safe?

What God has planned, no power can stop!
What God has ordained, no enemy can destroy!
We will trust Him, we will follow Him,
For our lives are safely in His hands!
We will trust Him, we will follow Him,
For our lives are safely in His hands!
(Verse 4)
From a basket on the river to the burning bush,
From the wilderness to Pharaoh’s mighty throne,
God raised a shepherd to become a leader,
And through Moses He brought His people home.
The little child the river could not take,
Became the servant God chose to lead His people.
The little child the river could not take,
Became the servant God chose to lead His people.
(Chorus)
God will preserve what He has ordained,
No enemy can destroy what You have planned.
Through the river, through the storm, You will lead me on,
What You have started, Lord, You will carry on.
Outro
Like Moses, I will trust You, Lord,
Like Moses, I will follow Your call.
My life is in Your hands,
My future is in Your hands.
What You have ordained for me,
You will bring to pass.
Hallelujah!
