This song tells the story of Jochebed, a woman of faith who sent her newborn baby down the Nile. That baby is Moses, who led the Hebrews to the Promised Land - all was according to God's plan.

To guard the inside from water,
she coats the basket with tar and pitch
How she must have felt
As tears filled and flowed
From her own two eyes

As her babe held her in his round eyes
She gave him a kiss, the last
And set the basket afloat in the river
earnestly praying all the while

As the stream stole away the box, She must
have wept, knees thudding on to the earth
her eyes clenched shut but her
babe's face and gaze etched into her vision

Your God is in complete control
Your God is your father
And in His hands
I entrust Him with your life

How she must have felt
As tears filled and flowed
From her own two eyes

she watched the basket with her own child
Aimlessly be carried by the river

As the stream stole away the box, She must
have wept, knees thudding on to the earth
her eyes clenched shut but her
babe's face and gaze etched into her vision

Your God is in complete control
Your God is your father
And in His hands
I entrust Him with your life

He will come and save you
He will direct your paths
He will work through you
He will come and deliver you

Your God is in complete control
Your God is your father
And in His hands
I entrust Him with your life

How she must have felt
As tears filled and flowed
From her own two eyes
