Lyrics

Listen to me, baby girl, I know that you're upset
 Come over here to Daddy, baby, let me wipe your eyes
 What I'm about to tell you, Rachel, you must not forget
 So listen very closely and I'll give you a surprise
 Your daddy and your uncles have been busy making bricks
 And they don't pay us anything- just blood, sweat and tears
 If you came to where I work, you'd see the pyramids
 Our people have been building those for 400 years
 Remember when I introduced you to Mr. Aaron?
 The one who pinched your cheeks and said you had a nice dress
 Well him and Mr. Moses have been talking to the Pharaoh
 Because the God of Abraham is gonna give His people rest
 Some crazy things been happening the last couple of weeks
 You didn't even notice because we're living in Goshen
 The smell of death is everywhere in Egypt and it wreaks
 Cause Yahweh is angry and He's causing a commotion
 First, He spoke to Mr. Moses from the burning bush
 Commanded him to tell the Pharaoh "Let His people go!"
 So that it would be said from Egypt all the way to Cush
 That Yahweh is God because everybody would know
 Then he went before the Pharaoh and all of His servants
 Knowing that the Lord was gonna harden Pharaoh's heart
 When Mr. Aaron threw his staff, it turned into a serpent
 But Pharaoh had magicians and they used their secret arts
 Their staffs turned to snakes too, but Mr. Aaron's ate them
 Because they don't know that our God is the One who caused the flood
 But Pharaoh wouldn't let us in the wilderness to praise Him
 So Plague 1: Yahweh turned the Nile into blood
 The fish died, the river stank, no water for Egyptians
 But Pharaoh's heart was so hard, he didn't even pause
 The miracle was somehow copied by Pharaoh's magicians
 So the second time around, Yahweh hit 'em with the frogs
 When Pharaoh still was hard-hearted, Yahweh brought the gnats
 This was Plague number 3- but now something was different
 As hard as the magicians tried, they couldn't copy that
 They told him, "This was God"- Pharaoh still wouldn't listen
 Plague number 4 was the swarm of the flies
 Plague number 5- all the livestock died
 Plague 6- sores terrorized
 Plague number 7- fiery hail fell from the skies
 You still with me Rachel? I need you to focus
 I have something for you- soon I'll reveal it
 Continuing- Plague number 8 was the locusts
 And Plague 9- it got so dark that you could feel it
 You would think that Pharaoh had a little common sense
 But after all of that, honey, he still hasn't budged
 But when this night is over, he will be fully convinced
 Because Yahweh's gonna show Himself to be the perfect Judge
 You know how you do bad things and then you get a beating?
 It's like that with God- He punishes our wrongs
 He can't just look the other way because that would mean He's cheating
 But unbelievably, He's been patient for so long
 But now time is running out and so is God's pity
 He's the universal Ruler many don't want to cherish
 So tonight He's gonna send the Destroyer through the city
 And the first-born son in every house is gonna perish
 Look over there, honey- see the blood on our door?
 When God notices that, He's gonna pass by
 By faith, we're believing in the Word of the Lord
 That whoever isn't covered by the blood's gonna die
 So now, back to Fluffy: It doesn't seem nice
 But part of God's plan was to substitute another
 An innocent victim, Fluffy paid the price
 Because if it isn't Fluffy, it's gonna be your brother
 Scene 2
 We rushed into the house so we could finish up our dinner
 "Rachel, honey, eat your food as fast as you can!"
 The bread was unleavened and the herbs- they were bitter
 Belt tight, sandals on, with my staff in my hand
 "Joseph and Rachel, it's almost time to go to sleep
 Mommy's gonna wash you up and I'll tell you a story
 While Daddy's cleaning up, I don't want to hear a peep
 Matter of fact, I don't want you to have to wait for me"
 We put the kids to bed, I knew the time it was dawning
 I looked at the table and that's when it hit me
 Moses said, "Let nothing remain until the morning"
 We had leftovers and we had to burn them quickly
 I started grabbing meat and throwing it on the fire
 All over my face, there were drops of perspire
 I cried out for mercy as it came down to the wire
 The Destroyer was here! Time had expired!
