Nobody Knew But God

God's people lived in Egypt
But they weren't welcome there
Then Pharaoh said 'Let them all be slaves'
Which seemed quite just and fair
Which seemed quite just and fair

But the people of God were many
Growing all the time
So Pharaoh said 'Throw the boys in the Nile'
Which was a terrible crime
Which was a terrible crime

Nobody knew but God
Nobody knew but God
He had a plan before the world began
Nobody knew but God

Now Miriam lived in Egypt
Her mother was with child
And when the time came for the baby to be born
She was happy and she smiled
She was happy and she smiled

But the baby needed protection
From Pharaoh's evil deeds
So they took him to the river
And hid him in the reeds
And hid him in the reeds

Then a princess came to the river
And saw the baby boy
She picked him up and hugged him
She was filled with joy
She was filled with joy

The Miriam went to the princess
To see what could be done
And the princess called him Moses
He became her adopted son
He became her adopted son
