Before Moses parted the sea He ran from his past
But the God who calls Does not forget his purpose
Dust on his hands In the heat of the sand
One moment of anger No one had planned
A cry from a slave And a strike from his hand
A body lay hidden Beneath desert land
Fear chased his shadow Through wilderness miles
Guilt in his chest And regret in his trials
Forty long years In a shepherd′s disguise
Thinking his purpose Had faded and died
But heaven was watching The man in the sand
Preparing a leader With scars on his hands
Because God never chooses The perfect to stand
He chooses the broken Who follow command
Dust on his hands Fire in the sky
A man who ran Still chosen to rise
Grace in the desert Calling his name
The past didn’t cancel The purpose he gained
Rise from the ashes Stand in the flame
The God of redemption Still calls you the same
Dust on his hands Fire in the sky
One moment of anger No one had planned
A cry from a slave And a strike from his hand
Fear chased his shadow Through wilderness miles
The God of redemption Still calls you the same
The calling A bush started burning
But never consumed A voice filled the silence
Of desert and dunes Take off your sandals
The ground is now holy The shepherd now stands before glory
Who am I Lord That you call me to lead
A fugitive man With a stuttering speech
But heaven replied With authority strong
I will be with you Wherever you walk
Staff in his hand And courage restored
The exile returned With the power of the Lord
Cause destiny waits Where obedience stands
And God turns the broken To leaders of lands
Dust on his hands Fire in the sky
A man who ran Still chosen to rise
Grace in the desert Calling his name
The past didn't cancel The purpose he gained
Redemption Pharaoh's throne trembled
Under the command Let my people go
Said the voice of the man Plagues filled the river
And darkness the sky The power of heaven
No king could deny Then waters divided
Beneath heaven's hand A pathway of freedom
Cut deep through the sand The man who once ran
From the weight of his fall Now stood as deliverer
Before them all Because God still writes
Redemption in fire Turning our failures
To something far higher And the man who once buried
His guilt in the sand Would lead an entire nation to land
The enemy says Your story is done
But mercy declares Your calling's begun
Dust on his hands Fire in the sky
A man who ran Still chosen to rise
Grace in the desert Calling his name
The past didn't cancel The purpose he gained
Rise from the ashes Stand in the flame
The God of redemption Still calls you the same
Redemption Pharaoh's throne trembled
Under the command Let my people go
Said the voice of the man Plagues filled the river
And darkness the sky The power of heaven
No king could deny Then waters divided
Beneath heaven's hand A pathway of freedom
Cut deep through the sand The man who once ran
From the weight of his fall Now stood as deliverer
Before them all Because God still writes
