There are songs that have been with us for several generations that shall be with us even more. This one sounds like it is being used to teach the children of Israel where they have come from and how God IS almighty. Exodus 15:1-18

1 Then Moses and the children of Isreal sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:"I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will exalt Him. 3 The Lordis a man of war; The Lord is His name. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. 5 The depths have covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone. 6 "Your right hand, O Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O Lord, shattered the enemy. 7 In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. 8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 "The enemy boasted. 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoiles; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.' 10 But you blew with your breath and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you-majestic in holiness, awsome in glory, working wonders? 12 You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them. 13 "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you guide them yo your holy dwelling. 14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia. 15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with tremboling, the people of Canaan will melt away; 16 terror and dread fall upon them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone-until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you bought pass by. 17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance-the place, O Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, O lord, your hands established. 18 The Lord will reign for ever and ever."
