The stories begin so long ago when
Hope died in the land of
Egypt: a people enslaved, distrusted
Longing to be free
Once again, when their Shepherd
Raised up Moses listen to Him and guide them
Down country and across desert
In expectation of the Promised Land
Some grumbled along the way
Many rebelled even after amazing demonstrations
Yahweh performed to care for them as their
Shepherd moving them through
Hostile territory toward
Everything they needed and away from
Pharaoh and all
His chariots
Every single slave walked out
Relinquishing every tie to a land not their own
Doing what their Shepherd asked
