Not Going Back to Egypt

Verse 1

That smelting furnace where darkness reigns, I’m not going back to that land
That field where death is the workman’s wage, I’m not going back to that land
That house that’s ruled by the father of lies, I’m not going back to that land
That hell so devoid of truth and light, I’m not going back to that land

Pre-chorus 1

To sin I am no more a slave, cause I’ve tasted the powers of the coming age
Not going back to wallow in the mud, cause my robe’s been washed in the Savior’s blood
To Baal I will not bend the knee, cause a new Master’s got a hold of me
He gives me mercy, He gives me grace, so devil get out of my face
No, No, No No, No No No

Chorus 1

I’m not going back to Egypt, I’m never going back to that land
Those days are done, I’ve got a race to run, until I stand before the Son of Man
Babylon’s days are numbered, it’s only a matter of time
So I will follow You, Jesus keep me true, until I cross the finish line

Verse 2

That pit of malice and rage and hate, I’m not going back to that land
That hole that leads down to Sheol’s gate, I’m not going back to that land
That filth of evil desire and greed, I’m not going back to that land
That mire of lies and idolatry, I’m not going back to that land
