“[(sung – reverent, almost whispered, minimal vibrato)]”
“I saw the sea
Hold back its breath
I saw the sky
Give room to death “
“I saw the fire
I saw the way
And I will sing
To God today “
“I will sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and the rider
Are buried in the sea “
“[(Sung – rising; strings swell, piano grows fuller, a gentle pad enters underneath.)] “
“The water stood
The earth was still
He fought with breath
He moved with will “
“He didn’t march
He didn’t plead
He broke the wave
He met the need”
“I will sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and the rider
He cast into the sea “
“[(sung – verse 3; vocal confidence grows. Light percussion enters in soft, heartbeat-like taps. Strings broaden into cinematic lift.)] “
“His right hand
Shakes the throne
He lifts the weak
He walks alone “
“He led us out
With holy flame
He led us here
To praise His name “
“[(Now singing with Moses in harmony; voices fuller, standing side by side. Harmonies broaden into gospel-like warmth.)] “
“I will sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and the rider
He cast into the sea “
“[(Call and response. Percussion expands with claps and steady drum hits. Energy builds measure by measure. Ensemble answers Moses with power and clarity.)]”
“I will sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and the rider
Are buried in the sea “
“He is holy, He is flame
He is just, forever the same
He brought us through
He set us free
I will sing – eternally “
