He Came Through

Russ Taff


Picture Moses by the Red Sea shore
Pharoah knows they can't run no more
Water way too deep and wide
They can't swim, they can't hide
Though he was just a man
Moses raised his hand

And the Lord came through
He heard their cry
When hope was gone
He turned the tide
You can shake your head
But you know it's true
When there was no other way
The Lord came through

King Darius and all his men
Tossed poor Daniel in the lion's den
He'd done no crime but he had to pay
For praying to the Lord three times a day
At the break of dawn
They came looking for his bones

But the Lord came through
And pulled him out
He tamed those cats
And shut their mouths
You can shake your head
But you know it's true
When there was no other way
The Lord came through

Those stories gathered dust up on the shelf
Till I fell into a trap I'd made myself
All my struggle only brought me pain
And I knew that I could never break those chains

But the Lord came through
He rescued me
He broke the lock and set me free
You can shake your head
But you know it's true
When there was no other way
The Lord came through

He always does
With his power
With his love
You can shake your head
But I'm living proof
When there was no other way
The Lord came through
