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 they 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 But the Lord, he gave to Moses a word for the people He said their firstborn sons could 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, "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, Chorus
