B14 Last Days Of Moses

Rating: 5.0


The slaves of Egyptian kingdom,
When they got sudden freedom,
Their routines went out of order,
Just like a fish out of water.

It was a solid mass of exodus,
That moved from place to place.
Under the leadership of Moses,
Chosen by God for this purpose.

In each step, God guided Moses.
In turn, he led the poor masses.
What was humanly impossible,
God, by his mercy, made it possible.

With all his endurance,
And God-given patience,
He tackled every obstacle
And managed all the people.

Moses said to the people,
Who had their roots in Israel,
'You've seen God's miracle,
And know He's powerful.'

'From God's blessing and curse,
You may choose only one, -
And between good and evil,
Choose one, whatever you'll.'

'In the matter of life and death
I call heaven and earth,
To witness your choice:
Left to me, life is my choice.'

'You love your God,
And obey the Lord.
Be faithful to Him,
And always worship Him.'

'Remember God's promise
That He'll be with you always,
In the land of His choice,
To keep you all in peace.'

'I'm now a hundred
And twenty years' old.
My time has come to leave.
This, I hope, you'll believe.'

Then God said to Moses,
'As the time passes,
A few days more you've
In this land to live.'

'Joshua, the son of Nun,
Will be the next one
To be your successor,
And he'll take all care.'

To Joshua, God then spoke,
'The charge you'll take
From Moses and you'll lead
The people. Go ahead.'

'As my true servant,
You be confident.
I'll be with you. Be sure,
And will lead you forever.'

The Death of Moses

From the plains of Moab,
To the Mount Nebo,
Moses went up to see
Their lands upto the sea.

God said, 'This is the land,
Earlier what I promised,
Now I can let you see it,
But you'll not reach it.'

With this, Mose's end came.
He was at the height of fame,
And was acclaimed as one,
A prophet, who' as second to none

God buried His servant Moses,
Of his tomb, with no traces
In the Moab valley anywhere,
But his fame spread everywhere.
