The Reaper of what God has Sworn

by Michael D Nalley   Jan 22, 2005


It was in another lifetime, one of pharaohs and their slaves,
Who believed in death and rebirth, without the God who saves.
A time when a Hebrew slave girl overseeing a banquet might have over heard
Moses tell of the mysteries of Osiris, as she listened to every word

Born as a slave to a pharaoh queen who had to hide her gender
The girl was set free by this pharaoh whose heart was very tender
And when the queen's life was in danger the slave girl would defend her
For her the queen had a mission, and with consent she would send her

She danced for an Assyrian emissary giving him red wine
When she learned all of his secrets, her life was really on the line
She was forced to stab the emissary in the heart
To escape death, and return to Egypt for a new start

As the story goes, the girl born a slave was allowed to retire
Moses who was born a Hebrew slave, was lifted even higher
The girl would return with her treasure to lead a celebration
But Moses would return to free all slaves to lead a great nation

Moses was also a friend with a powerful pharaoh
But the Almighty said, through Moses, let my people go
And through the Law of Moses we have come to know
We can learn our life's lessons from a friend or a foe

Who can say without a doubt, no one can be reborn?
Heaven and earth shall unite, that is what has been sworn
