(Exodus 14)
Moses had gone to Pharoah,
To say, “Let my people go.”
But it took 10 plagues, the last being death,
Before Pharoah would stop saying “No!”
So the Israelites left Egypt;
And they did so in a hurry.
They feared that Pharoah would change his mind;
That’s why they had to scurry.
Sure enough, they hadn’t gone far,
When Pharoah chased after them.
The Israelites were many,
So he brought an army with him.
When the sea faced the Israelites;
Again they were no longer free,
For the people found themselves trapped,
B’tween the devil and the deep Red Sea.
The people were ready to quit,
Though they had barely started.
But when Moses held out his rod,
The waters suddenly parted.
The Hebrews crossed the great divide,
On a path that was fairly wide.
And though the ground was dry,
A wall of water was on either side.
Once the last Hebrew crossed,
Pharoah’s army filled the path.
The water came crashing down,
And the Egyptians drowned in God’s wrath.
So when you face the impossible,
As long as you trust and obey,
God will bless and keep you;
He will make a way.
