Our Watery Graves

Exodus 15:1-3

I will sing unto the Lord being triumphedly,
The horse and its rider thrown into the sea;
For the Lord is my strength and my song,
Becoming my salvation and helps me along;
He is my God and with preparing to start,
For building Him a throne within my heart;
I exalt Him as God is also a man of war,
In the name of the Lord like an eagle soar.
What a sight it must have been to behold,
The story of Moses as it had been told;
Moses was so overjoyed when he sang,
Seeing what God did to Pharaoh's gang;
As the Red Sea made a watery grave,
Allowing the Children of Israel to save;
A faith so strong to put so much trust,
Ignoring all the forms of greed and lust;
One of the reasons why we do not hear,
Of God giving us directions so clear;
Our minds are caught up earthly affairs,
And not listening to what God declares.
