God's People Were Slaves
 
1. God's people they were slaves, very far away from home,
In a land called Egypt, when the Moses child was born.

2. The king of Egypt land made a law upon the earth:
All the baby slave boys would be put to death at birth. 
 
3. But Moses, he was hid by his mother for a while,
In a floating basket by the reeds of river Nile.

Refrain:
That one little baby would grow to be 
The man God used to set His people free. 

4. The daughter of the king went to wash at river side,
Found the floating basket, and she heard the baby cry. 
 
5. She took the baby up, held him in her loving arms;
Took him to the palace far from danger and from harm. 
 
6. And so we see how God watches over children small;
When they are in danger, then He hears their ev'ry call. 
(Refrain)
