MOSES

I suppose I seemed reluctant
That the God who could have His way
In an instant
Should pick the most unsuitable of men
To lead His people out of slavery again
And defeat a tyrant

I suppose I never expected
That the God whom my mother worshipped
But Egyptians rejected
Would call me from a burning bush
And leave me with no excuse
But to become His elected

I suppose I should have known better
That the God who is our guide and friend
And our Creator
Would never accept the excuse I made
To choose spomeone else instead
As liberator

I suppose you should understand
That the God who parted the Red Sea
With His hand
Sometimes looks beyond church and steeple
To bring His message to the people
About the promised land
