Egypt
by Bethel Music (Cory Asbury)
Theology & Meaning
Draws on the biblical Exodus narrative, celebrating God as our mighty Deliverer. The lyrics highlight God's faithful guidance, portraying salvation as being led out of bondage into freedom. It affirms that it's God's hand alone that defeats our enemy and brings us into a promised inheritance.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use as an energetic declaration of God's saving power - it fits well after testimonies of God's faithfulness or messages on freedom. Encourage the congregation to reflect on their own 'Egypt' moments where God brought deliverance.
Arrangement Tips
The song builds dynamically; consider having a choir or multiple vocalists join in on the bridge to elevate the celebration as you lead into the final chorus.
