[Verse 1]
          G           C                         G    C
Well, we all remember Moses on the banks of the river
         G                   C                  G   F
He said "Pharaoh, you've got to let my people go
          Em                 F                 C
You don't want me to have to tell you this ten times over
   C         D                      G C   G C
Denial ain't just a river, you know"


[Verse 2]
       G            C                         G    C
And we all remember Pharaoh, he just wouldn't do it
       G                  C               G   F
So the plagues they came upon Egypt one by one
    Em             F                                C
His heart was hard and the other nine just couldn't move it
       C                  D                          G   C
So the last was the worst: the death of the firstborn son


[Verse 3]
        G                C                   G     C
But the Lord, he gave to Moses a word for the people
              G              C                         G   F
He said their firstborn sons would live to see another day
         Em              F                             C
"Put the blood of a lamb on the doorway and death will pass right over"
 C                    D                 G
That night all of the children of Israel prayed
    
And they prayed


[Chorus]
  G                      C     G
"Lord, let your judgment Passover us
G                         D
Lord, let your love hover near
      G                    C     G
Don't let your sweet mercy Passover us
         G           D      C  G
Let this blood cover over us here"

[Verse 4]
       G              C                                  G       C
So the years went by and the people they whined and they wandered
         G          C                           G   F
And only sacrifice atoned for the sins of the land
       Em                F                      C
So you see the priest he placed upon the holy altar
D                       G  D
  The body of a spotless lamb

And he prayed


[Chorus]
  G                      C        G 
"Lord, let your judgment Passover us
  G                          D
Lord, let your love hover near
      G                    C        G
Don't let your sweet mercy Passover us
         G     D             C  G
Let this blood cover over us here"


[Interlude]
Em F C C D G


[Chorus]
     G                              C        G
So "Lord, let your judgment, let it Passover us
  G                          D
Lord, let your love hover near
      G                    C        G
Don't let your sweet mercy Passover us
         G       D            C  G
Let this blood cover over us here"


[Outro]
         G       D             Em F
Let this blood cover over us here"
         G       D            C
Let this blood cover over us here"
