Opening Song:
Egypt by Brian Johnson, Cory Asbury, Ethan Hulse, Lee Cummings, and Phil Wickham; sung by CAIN

Lyrics:
I won’t forget
The wonder of how You brought
Deliverance
The exodus of my heart

You found me
You freed me
Held back the waters for my release
Oh Yahweh

('Cause) You’re the God who fights for me
Lord of every victory
Hallelujah hallelujah
You have torn apart the sea
You have led me through the deep
Hallelujah hallelujah (oh) (whoa)

A cloud by day
Is a sign that You are with me
The fire by night
Is the guiding light to my feet

'Cause You stepped into my Egypt
And You took me by the hand
And You marched me out in freedom
(Straight) Into the promised land
(And) Now I will not forget You God
I’ll sing of all You’ve done
Death is swallowed up forever
By the fury of Your love

Passage:
20 “When your son asks you in time to come, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the rules that the LORD our God has commanded you?’ 21 then you shall say to your son, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. And the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes. 23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land that he swore to give to our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as we are this day. 25 And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.’
(Deuteronomy 6:20–25 ESV)
