Exodus 15

Which worship songs are based on Exodus 15?

  1. Past, Present, Future — Kings Kaleidoscope (2022) Exodus 15:2

    The request for God to be the singer’s strength and song reproduces the central wording of Moses and Israel’s song after deliverance through the sea. The surrounding references to the divine name, water, and wilderness favor Exodus over later passages that repeat the same formula.

  2. You Are My Hope — Cory Asbury (2008) Exodus 15:2

    The closing refrain's paired identification of God as strength and song, together with the chorus's identification of Him as salvation, echoes the Song of the Sea's distinctive formula. The same wording is repeated in Psalm 118:14 and Isaiah 12:2, so the immediate source cannot be determined conclusively.

  3. My Song — Debbie McClendon (2013) Exodus 15:2

    The repeated identification of the Lord as the singer's music and salvation closely echoes Moses' confession in his song of deliverance. The same biblical formulation also appears in Isaiah 12:2 and Psalm 118:14, so the precise source is not certain.

  4. Jesus I Love You - Live — Soul Survivor & Tom Smith (2017) Exodus 15:2

    The description of God as both the worshipper’s strength and song closely follows Moses’ declaration after deliverance through the sea. The surrounding language of redemption and divine leading further supports this connection.

  5. The Lord Is My Salvation — Keith & Kristyn Getty & Shane & Shane & Sing! (2020) Exodus 15:2

    The refrain identifying the Lord as salvation and the chorus declaring his incomparability closely echo the Song of Moses after Israel's deliverance through the sea.

  6. The Lord Is My Salvation - Live — Keith & Kristyn Getty & Sing! & Shane & Shane (2017) Exodus 15:2

    The central confession, the question declaring God's incomparability, and the celebration of his saving strength closely echo the Song of Moses after Israel's deliverance from Egypt.

  7. Joy of the Lord — Mac Powell (2021) Exodus 15:2

    The chorus combines its Nehemiah language with the declaration in Moses’ victory song that the Lord is both strength and song. The wording is adapted so that the Lord’s joy becomes the immediate subject.

  8. Call God — Elevation Worship (2026) Exodus 15:11

    The rhetorical question about God's incomparability, joined with His unique holiness, closely follows Moses' song celebrating the Lord as unequaled among all powers.

  9. This Is My Beloved — Matt Gilman (2013) Exodus 15:11

    The bridge's description of divine glory expressed in holiness reproduces a distinctive description from the song of Moses following the Red Sea deliverance.

  10. Who Is Like You? — Jon Thurlow (2013) Exodus 15:11

    The chorus joins a rhetorical question about God's incomparability with an affirmation of his holiness, closely echoing this distinctive pairing in the Song of Moses.

  11. No Hay Nadie Cómo Tú — Marco Barrientos (2024) Exodus 15:11

    The declaration that no one compares with the Lord, combined with descriptions of divine glory and marvelousness, closely echoes Moses’ praise of God's incomparable and glorious character.

  12. You Reign (Live) — Joyous Celebration (2017) Exodus 15:11

    The song combines the Song of Moses declaration that the Lord is incomparable among all gods with its affirmation of his everlasting reign. The pairing of these two claims strongly points to this passage rather than merely expressing a general theme of sovereignty.

  13. You Reign — VaShawn Mitchell (2011) Exodus 15:18

    The repeated refrain closely adapts the declaration of the Lord’s everlasting reign that concludes the Song of Moses. The song does not explicitly reference the Red Sea deliverance surrounding that declaration.

  14. Our God Reigns (reprise) — Israel & New Breed (2021) Exodus 15:18

    The repeated confession of God's everlasting reign closely echoes the concluding declaration of the Song of Moses concerning the Lord's eternal kingship.

  15. Let the Redeemed — Josh Baldwin (2019) Exodus 15:22-25

    The movement from desert conditions and water imagery to bitterness becoming sweetness recalls Marah, where God made Israel's bitter water drinkable during the wilderness journey.

  16. The Blessing of Abraham — Donald Lawrence (2013) Exodus 15:26

    The first verse closely reproduces God's declaration that he is his people's healer. This declaration occurs at Marah, after God makes the bitter water drinkable.

  17. I Am the God That Healeth Thee — Don Moen (2023) Exodus 15:26

    The central declaration closely reproduces God's self-identification at Marah as Israel's healing Lord. The spoken designation Jehovah Rapha further confirms this passage as the song's primary source.

  18. The Great I Am — Donnie McClurkin (2009) Exodus 15:26

    The Hebrew designation for God as healer invokes God’s declaration to Israel following the episode at Marah. The song explicitly connects this designation with experienced healing.

  19. Proclaim (feat. D'Nar) — Todd Galberth & D'Nar (2025) Exodus 15:26

    The reference to 'Rapha' connects to Exodus 15:26, where God reveals Himself as a healer, highlighting His power to heal and restore.

  20. Yahweh Will Manifest Himself — NBCFC Worship (2023) Exodus 15:26

    The divine title Rapha identifies the Lord as healer, directly invoking God's self-description to Israel in Exodus 15.

  21. God Is Good (with CAIN) — Phil Wickham (2026) Exodus 15:26

    Jehovah Rapha invokes God’s declaration to Israel that he is the Lord who heals them.

  22. Jehovah (feat. Chris Brown) — Elevation Worship, Chris Brown (2023) Exodus 15:26

    The healing title directly reflects God's self-description to Israel as the Lord who heals them.

  23. Love to Say Your Name — John Waller (2007) Exodus 15:26

    The bridge’s Hebrew designation of God as healer adapts God’s self-identification to Israel following the episode of the bitter water at Marah.

  24. Release the Sound — Tasha Cobbs Leonard (2020) Exodus 15:26

    The title Rapha invokes God’s self-identification as Israel’s healer in Exodus.

  25. On the Way (Live) — The Belonging Co & Sarah Reeves (2025) Exodus 15:26

    The song references God as 'Healer' using the name 'Jehovah Rapha,' which directly quotes the title given to God in Exodus 15:26, where He promises to heal the people of Israel.

Exodus 15 (King James Version)

1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.

18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
