[G] [C] [G]
[Em]
[G]
Up ahead is the shoreline of a mighty red sea.
There's no way to cross it, the [D] water's too deep.
Closing in [G] from behind me [C] is the [G] enemy's crowd.
[C] Lord, do you still [G]
[Em] remember [D] how you let [G] Israel out?
Oh, back the sea, Lord, [C] help me [G] cross over.
[C] There's no way [G]
around, and I'll [A] surely drown if I try on [D] my own.
Cut a [C] dry path, I'll go where [G] it [C] leads me.
I'm counting [G] on you to help me [Em] go through.
[D] Oh, back [G] the sea.
I
[Em]
[D] [G]
don't claim to be Moses, I failed you too much.
But if I'm gonna make it along, I'll need that [D] same touch.
With faith as [G] my rod and [C] your promise [G] in hand,
[C] In the footsteps [G] of [Em] Moses, [G] I'll cross on dry land.
Oh, back the sea, Lord, [C] help me [G] cross over.
[C] There's no way [G]
around, and I'll [A] surely drown if I try on [D] my own.
Cut a [C] dry path, I'll go where [G] it leads [C] me.
I'm counting [G] on you to help me [Em] go through.
[D] Oh, back [G] the sea.
Cut a [C] dry path, I'll go [G] where it [C] leads me.
I'm counting [G] on you to help me [Em] go through.
[G] Oh, back the sea.
