Moses –

            Israelites enslaved for 430 years

                While oppression reigned in Egypt

            An edict ------ a slaughter

                 Even of baby boys in their cribs

 

            Faithful mother -  basket of reeds…

               Heart wrenching farewell by the Nile

            Where would you go?  Where would you land?

                In the lap of a princess – God rescued in style!

 

            Nurse-maid was sent for –

                God’s hand again provides

            Your very own mom to care for…

                The infant needs of her child.

 

            The best of Egypt at your disposal –

                Education, resources, pleasures unmeasured,

            Which would you choose – Moses of old –

                Egypt or… the people you treasured?

 

Moses –

            A beaten fellow Israelite

               Your fury fully aroused –

            Death of a task master

                Your freedom to choose – now denounced

                        You flee!!!

 

            40 year old runaway –

               running away to Midian –

            Jethro’s daughters you rescue

                 And end up marrying one –

 

            40 years you spend

                        tending sheep until

            you encounter God’s invite

                        His small – STILL – voice.

 

            80 year old Moses –

                        how did it feel?

                        Confronting mighty, mighty pharaoh?

                   Again and again until..

                         He’d let your people GO! 

 

           

 

            Plague of blood –  gnats and flies –

                  Plague of darkness –

            Death of livestock, frogs and more

                  Only caused greater hardness –

                        Of pharaoh’s heart.

 

            Passover night – what was it like?

               To be shielded by the blood of a lamb.

            While the death angel passed…

                        Everywhere in Egypt… even thru your camp.

 

            Deliverer of Israel – leader extraordinaire

                 Out of bondage to freedom –

                        Would your people care?

                 These millions you led –

                         What a burden to bear… for Him!

 

            At the Red Sea

                        You weren’t even bothered…

                 Water on one side…

                        Pharaoh’s army on the other –

           

            But God made a way

                        A way through the sea

            Deliverance for Israel –

                        And a way to flee

 

            But on pharaoh these walls

                        Fell to destroy

            All of his army – completely

                        Demolished with joy!!  For Israel!

 

Moses – oh Moses – Great leader of old –

                         Your ancient faith speaks to us.

            Give us your zeal and fear of God

                        Until He comes to deliver us.

man, i really love this study in the old testament.... joe
