GOD REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT
The children of Israel must have wondered about God;
Life had become very hard in Egypt; where was the LORD?
The days of living happily in Goshen was but a memory;
Every day, the children of Israel endured much misery.
The hardship saw the children of Israel groaning in despair;
Painful groans punctuated their words uttered in sad prayers.
The children of Israel had fallen into terrible bondage;
The suffering inflicted on them was such an outrage!
The cries of the children of Israel grew stronger by the day;
But they had no justice from the wicked Pharaoh in any way.
More and more cruel ways were planned to hurt the people;
The Pharaoh had no care nor respect for the children of Israel.
But God had remembered the Covenant He gave to Abraham;
He had already revealed to him, His great master plan.
God had not forgotten the children of Israel in any way;
He would send a deliverer to them without further delay.
