O Lord who brought Your people out
With strong and mighty hand
From Egypt’s bondage through the sea
To Canaan’s fruitful land,
O Lord who brought Your people back
With true forgiving grace
From years of long captivity
To find their promised place,
O Lord who brought Your people life
With sacrificial love
From fear of death to living hope
Of endless years above,
O Lord who’ll bring Your people home
With joy and trumpet blast
From sin and pain set free to reign
In perfect peace at last,
O Lord of strength and grace and love
Whose glory fills the sky,
Direct our steps as in those days
To lift Your Name on high.

Christina – as always, nicely done. A good biblical perspective and summary of God’s sovereign direction of His people throughout history. May His grace, wisdom, glory, and love continue to inspire you!
This lit me up like Christmas! I feel like a little kid that found this wrapped neatly beneath the tree. Wow the lines, rhythm, metaphors etc. you could win awards with your poems no doubt, but that’s not what we’re about. Warming the hearts of others who trudge the same difficult road, now that’s an award that puts You up on the fireplace mantel. Thank you 😊
Christina Joy, God has certainly blessed you with a special gift of language. Love your poems.
