Moses was an insurance salesman
Sold flood insurance on the Plains
No matter how much he prayed
There was never any rain
One day when Moses had turned 40
The Lord said you will lead my people free
Moses said , "Say what ? Are you talking now to me ?"
Go tell the Pharoah
"Set my people free . Or I will devastate you until you listen to me ."
So reluctantly he set out
with his wife and family
Hooked up with his brother Arron and together they made history
Well you probably know the rest . Frogs and grasshoppers and the flies were such a pest
But Pharoah remained steadfast
until the Angel of Death flew by
That was when the first born
were all doomed to die
So Pharoah then relented
Bade all the Isrealites please leave
Even gave up all his gold
and suggested to the others
that they should likewise give
But the Isrealites were hard hearted
They had little to do with their God
So Moses led them out into the desert
Until till they were covered by the sod
And Moses reared a new generation
more devout now than the first
They would go on to populate
everywhere on Earth
But Moses was a man
doomed
tied now by his sin
God said because of that he couldn't let him in
But God showed Moses
all the promised land
from upon the mountain top
where both of them would stand
Moses could see it was raining
falling hard into the sand
Now what of this eternity
Is it now at hand ?
Then God took away Moses to where he did not say
I'm sure God shed a tear in private upon that fateful day
See Moses was a man
not unlike the rest of us
He put his faith in his God
and gave him every ounce of trust
