Poetry

In bondage bound was Jacob's child
Making bricks by the River Nile;
His wailing voice reached God on high,
Who answered there His people's cry.

The rod of God in Moses' hand
Displays His power in Pharaoh's land;
The parted waters upright stand
In honour guard at God's command.

For forty years the wilderness
Beguiled the people God had blessed;
Their promised hope lay unpossessed;
Israel found no place of rest.

Through doubt, most never entered in,
Fell in the Wilderness of Sin;
Beware lest we should be like them,
That unbelief would reign within.

The Rod of God is Jesus Christ;
By His atoning sacrifice,
He parts the sea twixt death and life;
To cross with Him is now our choice.

In Jesus is our promised rest,
Who clothes us in His righteousness;
He leads us through life's wilderness
And brings us Home!! May God be blessed!!
