The Exodus
Part One:
In the land of Egypt a pallor
Has spread
Death is imminent
All sits in darkness but the
Land of Goshen,
Where God’s chosen people
Wait for deliverance
And so Moses took his staff in
Hand
For he had a plan to lead God’s
People out of this slavery land
Before Pharoah he cast
A rod, a serpent appeared,
Pharoah became scared
To this stubborn man Moses said
“Let these people go,
Or pestilence and plague will
Come upon you and your
Servants”
Then Moses struck the water,
The River Nile turned to blood
Frogs invaded the Pharoah’s
Palace, where he slept, and in
The ovens
Into piles the frogs were heaped,
Dust was turned to lice and
Flies, flying upon man and beast
And all Pharoah’s people pled with
Him “let them go” but once
Again he would not answer,
Until the angel of death struck
His son
Then this frightened man
Said “into the desert wilderness
Take your children, that they may
Worship your God in heaven”
And so the Great Exodus began!
Multitudes of people were driven
From Egypt
Pharoah changed his mind after
They left
God was tired of his lies!
Following close behind he sought
The people, but to this God had
Forbidden
A large sea appeared, God split
It in two, on dry land His children
Passed through
On the other side they sang and cried –
“We have been saved but
Pharoah and his army He cast into
The sea, the waters swallowed
Them and they all died”…
