What God displayed to all of Egypt with His Powerful Uplifted Hand,

Was only the start of Israel's journey to The Blessed Promised Land.



The Egyptians gave Israel gold and silver right after all the blight,

For God made the Egyptians favorably disposed to each Israelite.



When God had all the first born killed Egypt was filled with wailing,

But God passed over each blood covered Israeli home without failing,



God became for Israel a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night,

And God covered Pharaoh with darkness but His people with light.



When Israel reached the Red Sea they were pursued by Pharaoh's army,

But God defeated the Egyptians by swallowing them up in the Red Sea.



Prior to this Moses said watch and see the deliverance of The Lord,

And with staff raised to part the sea they walked to the other shore.



To empower Moses for the journey and quiet those who began to mock,

God made waters at Marah sweet and produced even more from the rock.



And God whose presence on the mountain was such a humbling sight,

Feed His people with manna each day and feed them quail at night.



The quaking mountain of Sinai was more than just a majestic façade,

For on it Moses received stone tablets written by The Finger of God.



Moses was miraculously sustained on Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights,

This was to receive The Oracles of God in behalf of the Israelites.
