The Sea Made a Way

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

[Chorus – Full Choir, Tight Unison]
The sea made a way
The sea made a way
When there was no road
The sea made a way

Pharaoh behind them
Water ahead
Moses raised the rod
Just like God said

The sea made a way
The sea made a way
They walked through the middle
On dry ground that day

[Bridge – Warm Stacked Harmonies]
Stand still
See salvation

Stand still
Watch Him move

Fear said trapped
Faith said move

God sent the wind
All through the night

Opened the water
Made the pathway right

[Chorus – Choir Snaps, Unexpected Brass Hits]
The sea made a way
The sea made a way
Walls of water standing
The sea made a way

Children kept walking
Step after step
The Lord went before them
And covered the rest

The sea made a way
The sea made a way
They walked through the middle
On dry ground that day

[Bridge – Rhythmic Choir Changes]
Cloud by day
Fire by night

God led them
God led them

Enemy close
Promise in sight

God led them
God led them

Moses stretched out
The waters moved

What looked impossible
God walked them through

[Repetitive Run – Deep Pocket Groove]
Walk through
Walk through
Walk through the sea

Walk through
Walk through
God made them free

Dry ground
Dry ground
Under their feet

Water on the left
Water on the right

Keep moving
Keep moving
Don't turn around

The Lord made a road
Where none could be found

Way made
Way made
Way made for them

Way made
Way made
Again and again

[Choir Run – Tight Vocal Layers]
Wind blew
Water moved

God spoke
Israel crossed

Chains broke
Fear lost

One road
One God

He made it
He made it

Right through the water
He made it

He made it
He made it

A road through the sea
He made it

[Outro – Smooth Choir Resolution]
The enemy followed
But could not remain

The waters returned
And covered the chain

Israel crossed
The promise ahead

The Lord made a highway
Through the sea bed

The sea made a way
The sea made a way

[Final Choir Hit]
Dry ground!
