Up out of Egypt, through the Red Sea One step ahead of pharaoh's army Three days of travel, two million sons and daughters said What good is freedom without water It's dry as a desert But I know there's a blessing further on I'm gonna try to keep on prayin' From Bitter Springs to Big Trees and beyond At a place called Marah, hope began to sink 'Cause nothin' there was fit to drink Moses and the people cried out and gnashed their teeth God showed them wood to make the water sweet It's dry as a desert But I know there's a blessing further on I'm gonna try to keep on prayin' From Bitter Springs to Big Trees and beyond He said, "If you will listen and heed what I reveal You'll know no sickness. I'm the God Who Heals." Then He led them to Elim, where they had all they could need Twelve wells, three score and ten palm trees It's dry as a desert But I know there's a blessing further on I'm gonna try to keep on prayin' From Bitter Springs to Big Trees and beyond It's dry as a desert But I know there's a blessing further on I'm gonna try to keep on prayin' From Bitter Springs to Big Trees and beyond
