From Bondage To Freedom
Downcast, forlorn, and stressed.
Jews in Egypt enslaved, oppressed.
Pain, suffering, bleeding.
But Egypt still keeps on beating.
“Kill!”, “Destroy!”, “Annihilate!”.
Drowning in the Nile shall be their fate.
Increasing, growing, and multiplying.
A greater population, without even trying.
Prayers, pleas, anguished sighs.
Hashem hears those anguished cries.
Liberty, freedom, emancipation.
“Moses, go liberate My Nation!”
Plagues, smitings, and retaliation.
Egypt suffers with great devastation.
Stubborn, selfish, and obstinate.
Pharaoh remains insubordinate
.
Terror, fright, and deathly dread.
All around, Egyptian firstborns lie dead.
“Leave!”, “Go!”, “Depart!”.
Defeated is Pharaoh’s heart
Joy, jubilation, gladness.
No more tears of sadness.
Riches, jewels, and affluence.
Israelites depart with opulence
Providence, shelter, and protection.
Clouds of Glory in every direction.
Stallions, chariots, and cavalry.
Fugitives in pursuit by the enemy.
Praying, supplicating, and imploring.
The Red Sea is raging, roaring.
Faith, trust, and pure bitachon.
Into watery depths jumps Nachshon.
Miraculous, prodigious, and wondrous.
The sea splits, unbelievably marvelous!
Creator, Master, and King-of-kings.
To Him, His treasured nation sings.
Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and Rome.
Still in exile, away from home.
Redemption, geulah, and revelation.
Soon will come the final salvatio
