Let My People Go
by Nellie Shani Indeed twas a terrible night Over all of Egypt not a drop of light For Moses had asked of Pharaoh Release of Israel from sorrow His heart God had hardened Of his stubbornness all were saddened Like an iron box under lock and key His unswerving position all could see Moses staff became a snake A powerful miracle for Israel's sake Frogs gnats and flies galore Jumping and flying within their doors Let my people go All this sorrow you can forgo To worship me on mount Sinai This my holy cry On that fateful dark night The angel of death did alight Looked for blood on the doorposts Without it a terrible cost Bitter cries rent the air Firstborn's death they could not bear A dark cloud visited their homes Etching sorrow right to the bones From the heir to the throne To poor wanderers without a home An epitaph was written For the firstborns death had smitten Nellie Odhuno Shani is a Counselor, Conference speaker and writer.
