Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grab your tambourine
Come and dance with me
Cause the horse and its rider you have cast into the sea
Grab your tambourine
Come and dance with me
Triumph! Triumph in the camp!
Every enemy at the bottom of the sea
Triumph! Triumph in the camp!
Every enemy at the bottom of the sea
Triumph! Triumph!
Gonna cry (Out)
The lyrics are taken from the Bible, where the Israelites have just escaped their slavery in Egypt and successfully crossed the Red Sea, with Pharaoh's army drowning behind them. The horse and its rider represent the strength and power of the Egyptian army that pursued the Israelites. The lyrics celebrate the victory and the triumph over their oppressors, and the call to dance with a tambourine represents the joy and thankfulness of the Israelites.
The repetition of the phrase "Triumph! Triumph in the camp!" emphasizes the significance of their victory and encourages the people to celebrate their freedom. The line "Every enemy at the bottom of the sea" is a reminder that their oppressors are no longer a threat to them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Exodus" express the idea of liberation, victory, and freedom from oppression, and encourage people to celebrate their triumphs and joys in life.
