This is reggae style story song based on the life of Moses from the Wildfire group at Lismore. It is the final song from their latest EP, Kingdom Come.
This could be used in primary schools and is a fun singalong. The chord chart is here. This rural diocese in Australia is supporting young people and their music in a way that is sadly rare and is to be applauded.
This song was written by Evronia Allan, Alex Pereira, Daniel Pereira, Laurie Pratt &
Josiah Varney.
REFRAIN
Da da, da da da, da (da da, da da da, da)
Da da, da da da da da a (da da, da da da da da a)
Da da, da da da, da (da da, da da da, da)
Da da, da da da da da a (da da, da da da da da a)
VERSE 1
Let us tell you a story
All about a Hebrew baby
Hidden by his mother to be saved
In a basket on the water
Found by the Pharaoh’s daughter
You won’t believe who that baby became
PRE – REFRAIN
The Moses story
REFRAIN
VERSE 2
Born and raised in Egypt
Ran from a little disagreement
Fled into the desert on his own
Met God as the bush was burning
God told him, ‘My children are hurting’
Moses went to lead his people home
PRE – REFRAIN
REFRAIN
VERSE 3
They made their way to the Red Sea
Split the water and then they were set free
No longer held by Egyptian hands
For the Lord has triumphed
He empowered them to trust and rise up
On the way to find the Promised Land
PRE – REFRAIN
