B05 God Gives Moses Miraculous Power Poem by Simple Simon

But, Moses had a doubt.
He asked God about it.
'Oh God, the Israelites may
Or may not believe what I say.'

'They may even laugh at me
If I say, You appeared to me.
Then what do I tell them,
That'll surely convince them? '

So the Lord asked,
'What's in your hand? '
'A stick, ' Moses replied.
'Throw it down, ' God said.

Moses threw the stick,
And it became a snake.
In fear, he ran away,
As it came on his way.

The Lord said again,
'Now you bend down
And pick it up by its tail.'
Moses did it without fail.

What a surprise, the snake
Now turned back into a stick.
God said, 'You do this
To convince the Israelites.'

'Now put your hand inside
Your robe and take it outside.'
Like this, when God said,
The same, Moses did.

His hand became diseased
And white spots appeared.
God told him to repeat.
Once again he did it.

This time, it became normal.
God gave him one more miracle.
'From the Nile River,
You take some water.'

'Pour it on the ground.
Water will not be found.
Instead, it'll turn into blood.
That'll terrify them pretty good.

'I'm not a good speaker.
So, don't send me there.
Send someone else.'
Moses pleaded like this

The Lord got angry
And He didn't agree
To all his lame excuses
And his evasive replies.

He said, 'Take your brother
Aaron, who's a good speaker.
I'll help you both to speak.
Also take this miracle-stick.'

Moses Returns to Egypt

Moses went back to Midian,
Where God told him again,
'The time for you is good:
As all your enemies are dead.'

'So, you can go to Egypt.
Meet the Israelites first.
Then talk to the king;
Tell him everything.'

At the holy mountain,
Moses met his brother, Aaron,
They both went to Egypt,
And Israelite leaders, they met.

Moses performed miracles,
In front of those people,
Who started believing him
That God sent him to them.

They believed his word
That he had seen the Lord,
And he came to pull them out
Of bondage from Egypt
