Lyrics:
Yocheved gave birth to a strong baby boy, she hid him while he started to thrive
Soon she had a plan to put him in the nile, it was the only way that He’s survive
CHORUS:
Baby Moses in a basket, in a basket on the river, baby Moses in a basket on the river nile (x2)
Miriam his sister loved her baby brother dear, she helped her mother with his care.
When it came time to leave him in the reeds, she watched him til’ he was found there
CHORUS
Pharaoh’s daughter finds the basket floating in the Nile, she knows it is a Hebrew boy
Miriam brings her mother in to suckle the child; now Yocheved holds her pride and joy
CHORUS
Moses grew to lead the Jews into the promised land, God had sent him to set them free
Without the love and courage of the women at the Nile, it woulda changed the course of history
CHORUS
