Chosen

Gods people oppressed,

their prayers, sorrows reaching on high.

Chosen to lead your people.

Once of princely splendor,

life of privilege.

All gone with burning bush.

Time of fear, time of action.

Exiled and returning.

Symbol of a nation.

Facing Pharaoh and his priests.

The great I AM sent the.

Desert, despair, manna from on high.

Gods law given through you.

Leader of a nation,

yet not able to pass over,

into promised land.
