(based on Psalm 114)
When Israel was delivered from Egypt
unbelievable things happened—
the sea fled, and the River Jordan turned back.
The mountains seem to skip like rams,
The mountains seem to skip like rams,
and the hills to frolic like little lambs.
What awesome power caused river and sea to change their course—
What awesome power caused river and sea to change their course—
mountains and hills to jump and skip?
The whole earth was surely trembling in the presence of God .
Praise God who sets people free in unexpected ways
The whole earth was surely trembling in the presence of God .
Praise God who sets people free in unexpected ways
and sustains them through unexpected acts of grace.
