Verse 1 A baby in a basket on a restless river tide A mother praying softly as the current pulled aside The waters carried destiny where no one else could see A child heaven-guarded for the world would one day need Verse 2 Another child in the shadows was carried far away Hidden in a sack through the night and fear that day Taken to a place where her story was unknown A child the world had stolen, still standing all alone Chorus He called me Moses When the waters pulled me through Two different rivers But the same hand guiding you He called me Moses When I thought my life was lost Chosen through the wilderness No matter what the cost Verse 3 Moses found a palace in the land of Egypt’s throne Raised by those around him, but still feeling not his own I, too, found another land across the ocean sea My Egypt looked like America, a place that carried me Verse 4 But the hands that raised the story Turned away one day Like they never knew my name Like I had gone astray Just like Moses leaving Egypt Walking through the sand Sometimes the road of purpose Leads away from where you stand Chorus He called me Moses When the desert felt too wide Two different stories But the same God is at our side He called me Moses Through the anger and the pain Chosen through the broken To rise and lead again Bridge “Moses, what is in your hand?” A question through the flame Use the little that you carry And I will lift your name The staff that split the waters It was never a strength alone It was faith in the desert That led the journey home Final Chorus He called me Moses When I thought my life was done Through the fear and sorrow Through the battles I had won He called me Moses Not abandoned, not alone For the God who led the river Was leading me back home Outro Two rivers… Two deserts… One calling. He called me Moses.
