When God delivered the Israelites from Eygpt
I don’t know how they thought it would go
But I was once in Egypt myself
Suffering like no’s man business
And one day, a deliverer showed up
Not just to talk Pharoah into granting my basic human right
But to command him to let me go
Go where?
To the wilderness,
To worship God
Which God?
The God I was raised to believe in
The One who seemed to have abandoned me
But it actually happened.
With just 10 Plagues
This God turned out to be mightier than Pharoah
I never imagined anyone more powerful than Pharoah
Anyway, I finally set off out of Egypt
Where life was hard
Not long after
Here comes uncle Pharoah
Right on my tail
Chasing after me
Why?
Why did I leave?
Pharoah is definitely going to kill me this time
All I wanted was peace
Rest
The Egyptian's soft life
The life paraded in front of me
I did not want to be a slave anymore
Was that too much to ask?
Did I ask for too much?
Maybe I did
So I was brought out of Eygpt just to die
What a life this has been
Now, at the Red Sea, faced with reality
To drown
Be killed
Or taken captive
I will be treated worse than a slave this time
At least a slave has value
Damn, it wasn’t even that bad
I survived, didn’t I
How did I get from frying pan to fire?
Right there in front of my eyes
God
This God
That God
A God?
God
My God?
He parted the Red Sea
THE RED SEA
Yooo…
The
Red
Sea!!!
Like He just separated water from water
Hey, there is no time to stand amazed
Pharoah and his chariots are catching up
Up on my heel
Running for my life
As the last me makes it out
The sea is back to normal
Pharoah drowned in the Red Sea
I stare in awe
Unable to believe my eyes
Hallelaluyah to The Most High God
Who created the heaven and the earth
The One who said let there be
And there was
There is
And there continues to be
Who is great like You
No one
Absolutely no one
Now at Mount Sinai,
God said He will take me to a place that He will show me
He comes down to meet me
To introduce Himself
So I can know Him personally
He calls me a royal priesthood
Excited but clueless
Broken, lost and confused
As undeserving as I was
As I am
He still chose a relationship with me
He committed to a long-term relationship
With me
He keeps saying and seeing things in me
I am simply oblivious to
I have tried to run away
Fake the relationship
Desert Him and myself
But I just can’t seem to shake Him off
The Israelites had God go with them
In the cloud by day
And fire by night
So, when Moses took his time
They tried to create a god to lead them
Interestingly, the point was they realised they needed a guide
They figured they couldn't do life themselves
A vacuum was there
So they tried to fill it up themselves
Now, at the promised land
Faced with new enemies
New versions of myself
I am no longer a slave
I am a warrior
I came out of the wilderness a warrior
Royalty
As God calls me
A Son
I know that
I believe that
I get it
I can see it
But sometimes, I genuinely forget
I ran lanes in the wilderness and Eygpt
But as I enter the promised land, continuing the journey
I find myself trying to create a guide to take me back to where I was
When I was comfortable
But since He sent me
He will go with me
"I am calling you out
To take you to a land
I will show you "
I don't know how this is going to turn out
But let it begin
Let it be
Let it continue
