I stand before the oppressor
Who wants to keep my chains
I’ll sing, “My God is a God of freedom”
“Don’t underestimate His strength”
I hear that boast of the tyrant
Seeing my backs to a wall
He drew his sword thinking it was over
‘Guess he don’t know my God at all
Freedom, freedom
By the power of His mighty hand
Freedom, freedom
Got me runnin’ to the promised land
Freedom, freedom
Pharaoh, hear the Lord’s command
Freedom, freedom
He walked me right through that Red Sea
Drownin’ the army behind
He goes before me with strength and mercy
And He’s never lost a single fight, no
Freedom, freedom
By the power of His mighty hand
Freedom, freedom
Got me runnin’ to the promised land
Freedom, freedom
Pharaoh, hear the Lord’s command
Freedom, freedom
Pharaoh
Hey, Pharaoh
Fear, let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Worry, let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Shame, let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Pain, let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Let my people go
Freedom, freedom
By the power of His mighty hand
Freedom, freedom
Got me runnin’ to the promised land
Freedom, freedom
Pharaoh, hear the Lord’s command
Freedom, freedom, hey
Fear, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Worry, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Shame, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Pain, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Depression, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Addiction, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Division, let my people go
Freedom, freedom
Let my people go
Devil, let my people go
Devil, let my people go
Deliverance and Defiance: A Modern Exodus Anthem
“Pharaoh (Let My People Go)” by Brandon Lake captures the timeless story of liberation with a fresh, passionate voice. The lyrics draw parallels between the biblical Exodus and the personal struggles we face today—fear, worry, shame, pain, and more. Lake stands boldly before all that seeks to oppress, declaring that God is a God of freedom and unmatchable strength. The recurring command to “let my people go” is not just a historical echo, but a present-day declaration against anything holding us captive. The song’s powerful chorus and dynamic verses turn the ancient narrative into an anthem of hope, resilience, and unwavering faith in divine deliverance. Each repetition intensifies the call for freedom, reminding listeners that every obstacle—be it emotional, spiritual, or physical—must yield to the authority of God.
