For Christmas this year I wrote a story around the birth of Christ. Here is the poem from the end of the story. You can get the rest of the story here.
Now listen to what Joseph learned
In the hour of his great trial
As he journeyed down the path
When he rode upon his mule
God spoke to Moses through a bush
That the flames did not consume
Our great God is a consuming fire
Consumed with love for you
For God’s great heart was torn when he
Heard of the slave woman’s cry
And torn His heart is greater still
When to sin we yield our lives
Moses sent –
as a man of God to set
The captives of Egypt free
Jesus Christ –
the only son of God has come
To free Sin’s Slavery
To sway the angel of death away
A Passover lamb was slaughtered
Christ is the Lamb of God for us
And For us his life was offered
God struck his final blow to Pharaoh
Baptized in the in Red Sea’s flood
To sin God gives his final blow
Being baptized in Christ’s blood
From Mount Sinai where God spoke at first
Of the slave woman’s misery
Back to Sinai to receive the law
To show us our true slavery
All who sin are true slaves to sin
With only one hope for liberty
That Christ was born in a stable low
As any Passover lamb would be
A broken and contrite heart oh God
I know you will not despise
May the law of Moses do it’s work
And lead us to your side
On this day in Bethlehem lay
A greater one than Moses
For Moses led us to the law
So that Christ could redeem us
