Red Sea

At Yahweh’s command
Moses stretched out
His staff.
The Israelites walked
On arid ground,
To freedom.

At Yahweh’s command
Moses stretched out
His staff.
The Egyptians drowned,
Washed up ashore,
As corpses.

Although you obeyed
Yahweh’s commands,
Yet still
The promised land was,
And remained out
Of reach.

For you, Sea of Reeds,
You were only
A path.
You could not remove
Doubts, worries, fears
Given voice.

Although you were part
Of Yahweh’s plan
To bring
A land flowing with
Milk and honey
To them all.

By yourself you were
Not empowered
To win.
Of Yahweh’s great plan
You were also
A mere part.
