He killed an Egyptian - Moses fled for his life
To the land of Midian and there found a wife.
Moses as shepherd, tended Jethro's flock.
He led it to Mt Horeb where he got a shock.
A bush was on fire but it did not burn
“Let me have a look to see what I can learn.”
Moses said, blown away by what he saw.
Closer and closer to the bush he did draw.
“Moses Moses. Take off your sandals in this place
For I am your God.” Then Moses hid his face.
“I have heard my people crying in pain and misery
“I am sending you to Egypt so they can be set free”
Moses asked God 'Who am I that I should go”
They will want the name of the god they do not know”
God said “Say I Am who I Am has sent you'
With a promise of freedom that's true.”
“But what if they say “You didn't see God!”
The Lord replied “Take up your rod”
“Now throw it down!” It became a snake.
Moses thought 'They cant say it's fake!”
Reaching down he grabbed its tail.
It turned back to a rod, this demo won't fail.
God touched Moses' hand it turned leprous as snow
Then He healed it too – What a show!!
But Moses said 'Lord I don't speak well
So of Your greatness how can I tell?'
“I will teach and help you so off you go!”
“Please Lord don't send me! Please Lord no!”
God, angry with Moses, said “Hear what I say.
Aaron your brother is on his way.
He'll speak and I'll teach you what to do
And through the staff I'll do miracles too!”
Finally Moses obeyed he did what God said
Israel was freed, Pharaoh's troops were dead.
How often does God call to us to obey
And we say “Yes Lord, but not today!”
The end is coming the time is near.
Our God is searching for hearts sincere.
Who will answer, not counting the cost,
Saying “Yes Lord I'll reach out to the lost”
God's call can come in many ways,
But we need to be still to hear what He says.
Like Moses you too may have doubt,
But God will be there to help you out.
So listen, be ready, don't vegetate
Step out with faith and don't hesitate.
Our Lord is mighty, His promises true,
He can accomplish great things though you!
