On the third new moon when we arrived Together at the base of the Mountain of Sinai We were forged as a nation, bound for Canaan There on the mountain, we were bound in covenant Saved from the violence of Egypt, and Pharaoh’s hand We were safe and sound in Midian land I left the people and ascended on high To Horeb’s peaks stretching to the sky For forty holy days, and forty holy nights Those were thе best days, and the best days of my lifе Until the golden calf was forged And the people stirred the anger of the Lord Oh Israel what will we be? What will we be now that we’re free This is a ballad of fire and glory A beautiful but a tragic story About the place were it all began And the place where it almost ended in The Lord killing everyone And starting over with only one I prayed and begged Him not to and In His mercy He stayed His holy hand That prayer, that cry, that grief, those tears Then gave way to forty years From when the Lord fulfilled His vows And people bowed before a golden cow Israel what will we be What will we be now that we’re free For forty holy days, and forty holy nights Those were the best days, the worst days of my life As I was receiving, the Law from the Lord The people worshiped an idol made of gold For we were free, but not yet free indeed Still slaves to sin and blind idolatry The Law He gave, He gave knowing well We could never fulfill it, we could never dwell In the Land He gave unconditionally To Abraham’s seed and Jacob’s family In that everlasting oath, that covenant of old His sons now bowing to a cow covered in gold Its not enough to possess the Land Or to obey all of His commands The problem you see, with you and with me Is that the Law could never and will never set us free From the sin that’s within The sin that defiles Every man, woman, and child From the days of the Garden, and every day in between The Law could never ever set us free We need Savior Or we’ll never be free Israel what will we be What will we be now that we’re free We need a Savior We need a King We need a Savior To be free We need a Savior We need a King But it won’t be me
