OLD MAN MOSES
by Bill Kochman
11-28-2017
Oh yes, that old man Moses,
We have all heard his tale,
How God gave him a mission,
He thought that he would fail.
When the Lord called to him,
From a bush that was on fire,
Sore afraid Moses answered,
Oh God, but I am not for hire!
I don't even know Your Name,
And I can hardly even speak,
Surely You are just mistaken,
About the one You really seek.
Those Israelites won't accept,
I am a messenger sent by God,
They'll think that I am crazy,
Or at least a rather bit odd.
Yet despite his reservations,
Moses did as he'd been shown,
It was obviously so pointless,
For him to just moan and groan.
So armed with a shepherd's staff,
And some miracles up his sleeve,
Dear Moses marched off to Egypt,
To find out who would believe.
As many Christians already know,
God did wonders in that land,
After Pharaoh had been humbled,
They were freed by His own hand.
