I WAS TO BE A KING
by Jacob Ben Avraham (ref: Exodus 12:29)
I WAS TO BE A KING
a king that would have governed the Upper and Lower Nile,
A pharaoh of Great Egypt, a mighty and powerful king indeed.
I WAS TO BE A KING
yet the children of Israel did lift up their voices, and to their God
they did sing, a song of salvation, to be free of Egypt's bonds, a song
of ransom did ring.
I WAS TO BE A KING
and their God did strike a mighty blow, and to mighty Egypt he
did show, that the gods of the Nile would meet their woe.
For Ra is no more, and Osiris false, and the power of Amun for
naught ,Anubis is dead, and Bastet powerless to fight, and Nut
ruleth not the night. Ptah is but a memory, and just falsity is Set.
Forthey were all brought down by the plagues of ten.
Moses lifted up his staff, and pestilence did he send, by the great I AM.
I WAS TO BE A KING
In my father's stead, a would rule, when he would enter the world of the dead.
Yet I was taken, and my years were but three, when the Angel of Death
did visit the first born of Egypt indeed.
My father did indeed set Israel free, yet pursued them in folly, for he
and his army were swallowed up by the sea.
I WAS TO BE A KING
Yet now I worship the KING most high, the Great I AM, El Elyon, Adonai,
the Great and only God, El Shaddai.
The one who was, is, and always will be, is KING indeed.
Heis King and ruler of all, for all creation, into life, by his wordsdid he call.
For my eternal home is now in His kingdom, and fellowship with Him do I
have forever more.
For eternity with Him is mine to behold, together with the angels and thesaints
of old.
Now on, my knees I do bow, before my mighty King, and Psalms of praises to
Him, for ever, I will sing.
