This is what happened
When Israel escaped from Egypt,
When Jacob’s family got away
From that strange land
With its strange language:
Judah became his temple.
Israel became his kingdom.
The Sea saw
And ran away.
The Jordan River
Did a backflip.
The mountains skipped like rams.
The hills danced like little lambs.
Hey, Sea, what’s wrong?
Why did you run away?
Hey Jordan,
Why the backflip?
And you mountains,
Why the skipping like rams?
And you hills,
Why the dancing like little lambs?
Shiver and shake, Earth!
The Lord is here.
Jacob’s God is
Right
Here.
He’s the one who took a stone
And made it a pond,
Who took flint
And make it a rushing freshet.
