Andrew Peterson - Pa**over Us lyrics

Well, we all remember Moses on the banks of the river He said "Pharaoh, you've got to let my people go 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 d**h of the firstborn son But the Lord, he gave to Moses a word for the people He said their firstborn sons would live to see another day "Put the blood of a lamb on the doorway and d**h will pa** right over" That night all of the children of Israel prayed CHORUS "Lord, let your judgment Pa**over us Lord, let your love hover near Don't let your sweet mercy Pa**over 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
