When Pharaoh’s heart hardened with dread,
He chased the bold people who fled.
But the sea split in two,
With a path shining through,
As they walked on dry ground ahead.

The Israelites complained in the desert,
Their hunger was causing them hurt.
But God sent them manna,
A miraculous banner,
To show His love and never desert.

God gave us commandments to heed
On stone tablets they were decreed
No other gods, no stealing or lying
Honoring parents and not coveting
These laws are what we must take heed

There once was a man named Moses
Who tried to keep God’s laws close
But the people of Israel
Had other ideas to sell
So an idol of gold they chose

There once was a man named Bezalel
Whose skill with his hands was quite swell
He was blessed by the Lord
To craft a great hoard
Of items for the Tabernacle

In a great show of skill
The artisans had their fill
Of gold and blue and red
And bright purple thread
Moses was pleased, it was thrill!

The Lord did call to Moses’ side
And said, “Your people I will guide
Come up to me on high
Where I will tell you why
My covenant I will provide
