Pass Over Me

Whispers on the wind, heavy as night

Egypt's breath held, trembling in fright

Blood on the door, bitter herbs on the flame

Deliverance coming, in Yahweh's name

Pharaoh's voice was steel, his crown too proud to bend

The locusts came like thunder, the darkness would not end

He said "You may go, but leave what's mine"

But Moses stood, unshaken in spine

Pass over me, with the blood on the frame

The cry in the dark won't touch my name

When justice falls and the mighty shake

Let mercy rise for freedom's sake

Ohh Lord, pass over me

Twilight hands marked the lamb's red breath

Painted the doors to shield from death

Inside we waited, hearts open wide

For the hand of heaven to pass us by

Pass over me, with the blood on the frame

The cry in the dark won't touch my name

When justice falls and the mighty shake

Let mercy rise for freedom's sake

Ohh Lord, pass over me

I hear the silence right before the scream

The final breath of every Pharaoh's dream

From the Nile's curse to the midnight cry

The tears of Egypt fill the sky

Oh we remember, the firstborn's cry

Pass over me, with the blood on the frame

The cry in the dark won't touch my name

When justice falls and the mighty shake

Let mercy rise for freedom's sake

Pass over me... Ohh Lord, pass over me

He came like fire in the still of night

He passed through death to bring us light
