Poem#78 Ten Down To One
Exodus 5
Hang around idols long enough will be worshiping before we know it
Whether it’s been one minute or four hundred years away from God
Don’t we understand being away from God for one second is too long
While God’s People were hanging around Egypt & all their idols to worship
Unfortunately People remain stubborn as their hearts continue hardening
God’s always trying to save His People from Ourselves as we keep falling
Would think God’s People would have learned their lesson the first time
Not seeing famine happening in their heart driven to Egypt by another
Being Saved by God constantly trying to get idols out of our heart
God’s been chipping away at the idols since first needed redeemed
The first Adam didn’t understand even after God shed blood in Eden
Certainly didn’t expect People living in Egypt so long to understand
Would think chipping away idols in Egypt down to ten would help
Hardening Pharaoh’s heart with one plague after another until ten
God doesn’t work with coincidence God’s Work is done with Purpose
While we’re reading about Moses delivering ten plagues onto Pharaoh
God’s chipping away at idols in our heart down to Ten Commandments
While knowing we wouldn’t get the last until we see Jesus on the Cross
First Son in Adam has always needed Redeemed from having sinned
By God’s only other in Jesus who knew no Sin to become Our Lamb
The Blood on the door Post was God chipping away until Only Jesus
