EXODUS – I Was Called by Bro H

Verse 1 I was born when fear ruled the land, When sons were taken by a king’s command, Hidden by my mother’s trembling hands, Placed in a basket, set loose on the sand. The river carried what death had planned, But God had written a different end. Verse 2 I was raised where crowns were worn, Learned their ways, their speech, their laws, Fed from tables I never earned, But my heart was stirred when I heard the groans. I saw my brothers bent in the dust, And something in me would not rest. Verse 3 I struck a man, I fled in fear, Thought my calling had ended there, Forty years where no one knew my name, Tending sheep, forgetting flame. A quiet life in a foreign land, Till fire spoke and the bush still stand. Chorus I was called, though I doubted the sound, I was sent, though I felt unbound, Not by strength, not by tongue, But by the word of the Holy One. I was called. Verse 4 He said, “I’ve heard My people cry, I’ve seen their chains, I’ve marked the time.” I said, “Who am I to speak such things?” He said, “I AM will be with thee.” My mouth was weak, my faith was thin, So He sent my brother to speak for Him. Verse 5 I stood before the throne of pride, Spoke as God while Aaron cried, Rod turned flesh, then back to wood, Power shown where Pharaoh stood. Each sign struck hard, each warning clear, Still hearts stayed stiff, still ears would not hear. Bridge (spoken, intimate) I almost fell by my own neglect, Forgot the sign of the covenant, Till blood was shed and my life was spared— Even the chosen must walk in fear. Verse 6 The night came down, the lamb was slain, The sea stood up at Yahweh’s name, I watched a nation walk through death, And sing on shore with shaking breath. They doubted me, they tested Him, Still I stood between their sin. Final Chorus I was called to bear a stubborn race, To plead for them before His face, When wrath burned hot and mercy dim, I offered myself instead of them. I was called. Outro (slow, reflective) I loved them more than they ever knew, I broke, I prayed, I followed through, And every step, though hard and long, I knew my God was leading on. I was called… And He was with me
