My Life In Word

exodus

In pages old, a tale unfolds,
Of Exodus, a story bold.
From slavery's chains, a people cried,
Their hopes to freedom's call allied.

Moses, a shepherd, chosen true,
To lead his kin, to guide them through.
With staff in hand and faith ablaze,
He faced Pharaoh's daunting gaze.

Ten plagues descended, each a sign,
Of divine power, of grand design.
Yet stubborn Pharaoh held his ground,
Till final judgment echoed round.

Through parted seas, they made their way,
Towards a promised land, they'd say.
But trials awaited, in desert sands,
Their faith tested by God's commands.

Manna fell from heavens high,
A nourishing grace beneath the sky.
Mount Sinai, where laws were carved,
A covenant with God, unswerved.

Forty years they wandered, so it's told,
In Exodus, a saga bold.
In Exodus, a story grand, 
Of liberation, by God's hand.
